Unemployment figure - deliberate lie

The Australian government's officially published result for the jobless is at this point in time, is at a rate of 5.7%, a figure which is deliberately fraudulent.

One way of 'rigging' the actual figures is that if an unemployed person is:

• on a course,
• on a 'work for the dole' project,
• in temporary employment, but generally unemployed,
• has been breached and NOT receiving payments,
• in the 12 weeks period prior to payment of unemployment benefits,
• and other scenarios.
  

then they are classified as NOT unemployed.

The government deliberately plays down the real amount in order NOT to alarm the general public.

Fact: Economists always use a figure of 50% more than the officially government quoted percentage,

thus the more realistic figure of unemployed people is Australia is 8.5%
