Jobs

"THE unemployment rate has soared across Adelaide in the past six months, more than doubling in some suburbs as gloomy economic forecasts turn to harsh reality."

We are going to have to be the sorts of people we always have been in South Australia..up for a challenge. We are going to have to ensure our young are educated and skilled. We are going to have to ensure they have abandoned the notion of life providing for them and they are going to have to get the skills and knowledge they need to compete in a federal and international market. We have to ensure they are taught well, have good opportunities and a community which will get behind them and push them along and encourage them. We are going to have to ensure older workers remain flexible and able to adapt. We shall have to make sure our workers have transferable skills. We are going to have to encourage creativity and ideas so that we can keep coming up with options. At the moment we are annexed to the eastern states and maybe falling foul of the international competitors. We ned to liven up and keep ourselves happy and afloat. We have done it before and we have always been able to adapt. We need to push harder for what we want. If the southern suburbs have managed stabiltiy through all their job losses we have , at least, something to look at and consider. Let's focus on what we can do rather than taking in the doom and gloom.
