Today's announcement that Kent Relocation Group is purchasing Tasmanian company Watkins Removals and Storage and securing local jobs is another sign of growing confidence in the Tasmanian economy.
The acquisition secures 15 Tasmanian jobs with at least another five more jobs set to be created in the near future as the business looks to expand.
We said jobs growth would be the Liberal Government's number one priority and while there is still a lot of work to do, the number of jobs in Tasmania is increasing.
The growing confidence was shown in CommSec's latest report, with the State of the States report highlighting "encouraging" signs of recovery in Tasmania.
Tasmania's unemployment rate has fallen by 0.3 per cent to 7.2 per cent since the election and the participation rate has increased by 0.2 per cent over the same period.
This growing positive outlook is reflected in the NAB Monthly Business Survey for September which shows business confidence is through the roof under the Liberal Government.
We are seeing early results as the Liberal Government works to deliver our long-term plan through fixing the Labor-Green budget mess, keeping our promises and laying the foundations for the future.
There is much to do, but we are getting on with the job of making Tasmania the place to live, work and invest.
