Jobs Credit Scheme

Will the Jobs Credit Scheme save jobs and help the unemployed? Is there a better way to spend the $4.5 billion?  Read my views in this article.

We also must examine why some are unemployed for a long time. We exclude the old and disabled because they really deserve some financial assistance.
There are abled people who remain unemployed but what are their reasons?
Still thinking of high pay, comfortable working environment, rely on various financial assistance, more GST credits, ...?

You can just publish you article without actually linking to it.

I also don't think the scheme will work well. If I am an employer, I will retrench to save more than what the government can save me. If there's no need for the worker, there's no need to keep the worker around. Business sense.

Hi Parka

Some people find the article to be too long, if published in my blog. I prefer to publish a short explanation in my blog and provide a link to the full article elsewhere.

Those who are interested will use the link. The others can skip the article.

I hope that the link works well for most people. If anyone has trouble with the link, please feedback to me.
