Jobs increase continues under Hodgman Government

The Hodgman Government’s number one priority will always be jobs.

Our 100 Day Plan is underway and already the Cabinet has been hard at work on plans to grow the economy and create more jobs.

ABS figures released today show that there has been a massive increase in employment under the Liberals.

The unemployment rate is the third lowest of any state in the country at just 5.8 per cent.

Over the last 12 months alone, 5,700 new jobs have been created and importantly, 1,500 of those have been full time.

During the election, we outlined a Plan to create more jobs and grow the economy and we are getting on with the job of delivering.
