Best Christmas present for SA job seekers is jobsThe State’s largest private sector employer has cautiously welcomed the latest jobs data for South Australia, which points to a slight downturn in the jobless rate.The Property Council of Australia has greeted the drop in unemployment from 7.7 per cent to 7.5 per cent in October and pointed to structural economic reform as a potential return pathway to employment prosperity.”Of course the drop in unemployment is positive and welcomed, but now is the time to put in place legacy building reforms in the areas of tax and planning, and a solution to our city’s adaptive reuse challenge,” said SA Executive Director Daniel Gannon.”No more ifs, no more buts – the best Christmas presents for South Australian job seekers this year are meaningful job opportunities.”It’s a well-known fact that the property sector underpins South Australia’s economy, providing direct and indirect employment to 168,000 people and accounting for 26 per cent of wages and salaries.”And that’s why the property sector is seeking widespread game-changing reforms to our tax system, including stamp duty abolition in exchange for changes to the GST.”There’s not one person in South Australia who would welcome brandishing the country’s worst employment figures, but that’s why we can’t waste any time in restructuring our economy.”Job creation begets job creation, and that produces confidence – confidence to transact, confidence to repurpose ageing building stock, confidence to grow and employ South Australians.”
