More Sinkies jobless - so much for our economic policy!!

[enterprise2]

BY JOANNA SEOW
The job scene here is off to a tepid start this year, with the highest jobless rate and lowest increase in new jobs filled since 2011.

While unemployment remained low at 2.1 per cent in the first quarter, this seasonally adjusted rate was up from 1.8 per cent in the previous quarter.

It was coupled with the slowest employment growth since mid-2011, with some 24,900 jobs added, according to preliminary figures released yesterday by the Manpower Ministry.

In the same period last year, the number of new jobs added was 28,900.

Not difficult to guess why! Usual excuses. "...mixed economic recovery....more FTs here,.....Sinkies not skilled enough, too expensive...etc..etc. ". Time to make our ministars jobless in 2016!!

And the quality of jobs? Good paying PMET jobs taken up by foreigners, locals are given jobs such as security guards, toilet cleaners and taxi drivers.

Never mind, Sinkies can go and sell tissue.

If sinkies have the skills, they'll find jobs in no time at all. If they can't, it simply means that they're only good for driving taxis.

You can't blame the government for that.

I agree with you totally, Leongsam.

I hope the unemployment rate of Sinkie PMETs will quadruple the same time next year.

High unemployment is good because it will encourage the 60% to think about change

You've gotta love the way the MSM 'sugar coat' poor economic figures. Talk about calling a spade a spade...but they're masters of spinning bullshit.
