Tasmania’s unemployment rate has fallen to 6.4 per cent, with 225 new jobs created last month.
ABS statistics released today show since the March 2014 election, over 3,300 new jobs have been created in Tasmania.
Despite this good news, the Hodgman Government knows that not everyone is feeling the benefits of our growing economy, which is why we remain firmly focussed on supporting job creation as our number one priority.
That is why we have implemented our $100 million Northern Economic Stimulus, which will stimulate the Northern economy and create employment in the North and North West of the State.
No doubt Labor will be negative and look to talk down the economy – however Tasmanians will remember that under Labor and the Greens, unemployment peaked at 8.6 per cent and 10,000 jobs were lost.
