Work for the dole is not a pro-active method for getting the poor - TopicsExpress



          

Work for the dole is not a pro-active method for getting the poor into the labour market, its a means of effectively lowering the minimum wage. For those on Youth Allowance it could mean a wage as low as about $5.50 an hour, and $10 for Newstart. The equivalent minimum wage during the Great Depression was actually higher than this... What motivation does hospo or retail have to employ a full time worker when they can get an army of desperate casuals for virtually nothing?
