The Morrison Government has pledged to create 1.3 million more jobs over the next five years as part of its plan for a stronger economy and a stronger future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Building on Australia\u2019s strong economic recovery from COVID-19 and the Coalition\u2019s record of creating almost 1.9 million new jobs since it was elected, the Morrison Government has committed to create 1.3 million new jobs over the next five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prime Minister Scott Morrison said despite fires, floods, a pandemic, a global recession, economic coercion from China and now a war in Europe, the Government had driven the unemployment rate down to 4 per cent, from 5.7 per cent when Labor left office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve got the runs on the board and proven plans to deliver these 1.3 million new jobs,\u201d the Prime Minister said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOnly the Liberals and Nationals have the track record, the experience and the plan for 1.3 million new jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur tax relief for workers and small business, our investments in skills and trades, and our support for our local manufacturing sector mean we can get more people into more jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy Government has created 50 per cent more jobs than what we saw when Labor faced the GFC, despite an economic crisis with the pandemic that was 30 times bigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBoosting jobs creation to the levels we saw even before the pandemic is key to our plan for a stronger economy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Treasurer Josh Frydenberg said Australia\u2019s job recovery is leading the world and our jobs recovery from COVID-19 has been faster and stronger than the US, UK, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur unemployment rate is down to 4 per cent, the equal lowest level in 48 years and forecast to fall further,\u201d the Treasurer said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith more people in work and fewer people on welfare we have seen a $103 billion turn around in the budget bottom line. The largest and fastest improvement to the budget bottom line in over 70 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnthony Albanese and Labor don\u2019t have a plan for the economy and for jobs and can\u2019t be trusted to manage the budget.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Minister for Employment, Workforce, Skills, Small and Family Business Stuart Robert said many countries around the world were still not back to pre-pandemic levels of employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere are 376,000 more Australians in work than before the pandemic,\u201d Minister Robert said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cUnder our Government, youth unemployment has reached its lowest level in over 13 years and there are a record 220,000 Australians in trade apprenticeships. We have established the $2.1 billion JobTrainer Fund with the states and territories, providing 478,000 free or low fee training places in areas of skills need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen Labor last came to office, the jobless rate was a little over 4 per cent. When they left government six years later, unemployment was 5.7 per cent and rising and there were 54,300 fewer young people with jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
