So here we are off and crowing about the job numbers, terms like 'full employment' or 'real jobs growth', it's enough to make you puke.

When is this government going to stop kidding its self and come to the realisation, or at least admit the fact that most of these jobs have been created by default, not clever economic management as they would have us believe.

In fact, if you take out the jobs created from 'natural disasters', 'loan defaults and bankruptcies' and 'government stuff ups', about the only jobs growth left is mining, and they are doing a damned fine job at trying to drive that industry away.

Please, don't be fooled by the labor spin on jobs growth and see the economy for the 'two speed' economy it really is.

It's a very tough world out there unless you fall in to one of these categories created 'by default' rather than sound economic management.

Now on the other hand, if you are one who accepts the gross mismanagement and incompetence of our government, simply because it has created 'default jobs', then you deserve the kind of leadership you voted for.

Makes one wonder if the economists are 'paid off' to 'talk it up' as they are certainly doing a fine job of that.

one minute you are saying a govt; that does nothing is a good govt;
Now you say jobs by default!
Get a grip of yourself.
