- The original Full Employment White Paper, released in 1945, set the direction of Australia's economic policy for decades. The next came in 1994, produced by the Keating Government. Now, the Albanese Government has released a similar document for a new age. Treasurer Jim Chalmers spoke to 7.30's Sarah Ferguson about the government's vision for Australia's workforce.

Why are they focusing on people wanting to work more?? People need to be paid more that’s the issue
Exactly! Pay the Aussie workers what they are worth or they move to countries that will!
That's the thing. Unemployment being at 0 is something that TERRIFIES corporations, and the capitalists that own the majority of them. It means, rather than workers having to compete with each other or face unemployment, businesses actually have to offer more than the bare minimum to attract workers.
(This inflation is being caused by corporate profits and greed anyway so tossing millions of people into unemployment wouldn't solve that problem either lol.)
The government causing more inflation not franchise & independant owners losing that are losing net profit 🙄
The relationship between unemployment and inflation is fairly well understood.
If you want to know more, look up NAIRU. Non-accelerating Inflationary Rate of Unemployment. It is the unemployment rate below which positive inflation is driven by labour shortage.
Bahahaha. It is not being caused by greed. This is why we need mandatory economics in school
Employers have always been greedy. Did they ask suddenly together decide to get greedy in 2022 and form a mega cartel? 😂 it's because of the reckless spending injected into the economy by frydenberg and the disastrous lockdown. To much money chasing too few goods = inflation.
Labors big spending budgets certainly aren't helping
It's actually impressive how unintelligent Angus Taylor is. Surely the Coalition are embarrassed by him.
Who with any sense of shame is left to feel it?
Employers want to have it both ways - Underemploy so they don’t pay workers during ‘quiet’ times. Then, expect those same workers to do overtime when demand increases. Workers have had a gutful of being used in this way. Doesn’t allow you to organise (expensive) childcare and pay a mortgage
All good if average income could buy average home
We have to curb the expectation that both women and men should work full time to be able to afford a house. There is not enough time to have kids and raise a family.
Not all jobs fit the economic model! We desperately need a new way to distribute the wealth generated by automation!
The ownership model is severely flawed when it comes to non human productivity!
More rhetoric, back in the day you could get a Tafe qualification without taking out a second mortgage, I spent lots of years in training. The cost is crazy now.
High taxes the problem why business have to borrow all the time = net profit fall for franchise = prices go up for consumers
What is making them to think that skills get you the job, you get the job if someone knows you enough (reference), that is why half of skilled immigrants end up in irrelevant skill work
It’s not just migrants that face that hurdle there is a lot of nepotism across Australia not only in the private sector but also the public sector as well, I agree this needs to be addressed also.
In private industry I believe hiring practices should be their own business.
As for immigrants it just goes to show how licensure is often just a useless step that some organised crime created to extract more revenue. A retic guy was telling me he wanted sprinkler systems to be licensed 😂 every lobby group does this to keep skilled labour out of their industry to drive wages up but it just drives productivity down. That is why so many immigrants start restaurants etc. We have thugs gatekeeping everything.
how about building another few million social housing facilities in this country, surely that would be good for workers and the people living here who are actually struggling to keep their heads above water on a daily basis and lets not forget about all the new immigrants you want to flood the work market with, where are they supposed to be living ?? politicians love to talk a big game but rarely follow through on anything thats actually good for the people
Refreshing to see the government actually planning for the future
Who's future? Answer: corporations.
Universities offer far more places than they can possibly place, all because they really want to fill those places with foreign students because it is (was) a cash-cow. What industry does Australia actually have to offer for all the Australian students who go to university? Young Australians are told to go to uni to get a good paying job, so they don't have to do menial labour. Jokes on them, they will just end up unemployed or doing menial labour after wasting time on a degree. Start earning later while all the rich get richer.
yeah thats it back in the 70s, 80s etc we still had a lot of industry and manufacturing in australia, and higher education and skilled training would actually equate to tangible outcomes in as far as work opportunitie's go. now days you have to scratch your head when you see courses for certain skills taking enrolements when you know that all jobs that required those skills were off shored by the globalists decades ago now and will never come back
Sadly, Australia has not created new industries that could have employed all these graduates. So many missed opportunities with solar and renewable technology, battery tech, manufacturing (which is mostly gone) and other industries. All the jobs created have been in healthcare or low wage service industries. We need a homegrown Tesla, Apple or Amazon to really push us into the 21st century. All we do is houses and holes. We’ve been able to get away with it due to a 20 year commodity boom, but how long that continues to be the gift that keeps giving, no one knows.
@@teamtoken The excuse will always be that Australia is too expensive.
it's funny how there is such low unemployment but in the jobs that matter no one wants to work
Visionary long term economic thinking. Love to see it!
Ah yes that's my dream, to never stop working
All go back to the office and give them a raise to do so.
There needs to be an acceptance of people who obtain up to date skills in digital technologies and clean energy who don't have prior experience or work history, as these are the people who get left behind in unemployment. The fact is, most of these unemployed people would love a WELL PAID job in such an industry. The government should provide free TAFE courses in these areas to make those skills easy to obtain for such people.
The treasurer gives me a good sense of competence. But I guess that's part of his job 😄 it must be a frustrating part of the job if too low unemployment could have an affect on inflation.
Roadblocks,yes required tickets , working at height , confined space entry ,etc expired every two years , costing a thousand dollars each out of the employee pocket , Australian workers being asked for red tape tickets for almost every job , GST apply to every dollar spent on constantly expiring tickets ,
yah, Australia's strategy for creating jobs is adding more regulations and licences, more inspectors, more admin .. oh we need more jobs, lets regulate a few more jobs.. been doing it for ages.. it's hard to switch careers in 40s.. Im just too tired for a degree or anything like that and the competition is so high for the kinds of tickets you mentioned .. ugh
Funny how the taxpayer and workers have to pay for their own schooling,training and degrees to benifit the corporations that need them, talk about employers being entitled.
100%
An apprenticeship is free...
I got these
phillips curve economics doesn’t work -
When did our labour market get so over-regulated that we now rely on those that produce nothing (Jim Chalmers) to tell us what jobs we ought to do?
This government is far better than any of the preceding Liberal governments, and looking at the opposition front bench, it looks fairly bereft of talent and creativity.
@@sdpearshaped831 That's not saying much and I think that even Mr 33% would have to agree!
@@sdpearshaped831 hahaha no the not unemployment rate 11% private sector
Workers being paid and safe at work is not over regulation. Move to India if you don't like it.
Ah, Jim Chalmers, the most right-leaning Treasurer the nominally Centre-Left Party could slip past the public's scrutiny.
Keep playing the flute and moving it around to distract the snakes. That is the function, not the publicly funded role of the Australian Treasurer, but the the job of smiling Jim "the Snake" Chalmers. Absolute BS.
The Tradesmen can afford to retire early these days. Off to Bali.
Australia has
Too many chief's and not enogh Indians .
So eventually you get a Communal Tent full of Sociology Professors.
While the uneducated Brickie lives in the big House !
And so it should be. He works harder he actually is useful to society. He literally built the house they would live in. While he's building thier house these intellects are telling him what's wrong with him our economy ...yeah I don't trust any of them.
You're joking right?
My husband, diesel fitter, is so physically destroyed by years of heavy labour that he had to stop working and try to survive on Jobseeker while waiting to reach pension age.
My brother in law, a brick layer, in exactly the same boat.
I worked as a Gardener for 40 year's. My back is destroyed.
And I was generalising in terms of present pay rates.
👍
The bricky worked his ass off for every dollar he deserves, too!
Just because someone goes and gets a degree doesn't make them intelligent or more valuable at all.
