Four hundred more jobs have been created in Tasmania in the past month, according to the latest Australian Bureau of Statistics’ figures.
This means there are 3000 more Tasmanians employed now than there were at the March 2014 election.
The Hodgman Liberal Government has made clear that our first priority is jobs, and we know that by working with businesses to grow the economy we are supporting jobs growth.
Confidence is up across industries and that’s leading to businesses employing more Tasmanians.
The creation of more jobs also encourages more people to actively look for work and that’s why we’ve seen growth in the participation rate.
There is still more to do, and that’s why we are continuing to implement our long-term Plan.
