On Tuesday I made a prediction on this thread about today's unemployment figures;

http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?discussion=6226#182443

“So it will be instructive to see what will happen with the unemployment figures that come out on Thursday. The figure is currently at 5.8% with some saying it will stay the same. My bet is it has a good chance of hitting 6.”

Well today the figures are out and yes they did indeed hit 6%.
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-02-13/january-employment-figures-bureau-of-statistics/5257326

I would like to reiterated the following point;

“I think people tend to dramatically underestimate the damage job insecurity can do to an economy. We could be in for a very bumpy ride.”

I know higher unemployment and less job security is good for businesses through the strength in negotiating lowering wages and conditions, but at what cost. I'm wondering if Abbott and Co have a figure in mind. Probably.

But I am interested to hear what the Abbott supporters here think the figure will ultimately be once the free market ideologues get finished with our manufacturing sector.

And what figure would you lot deem acceptable. Is 7% okay? 8? 9? At what point will even you guys, if ever, say enough is enough?

Doesn't matter, it is all irrelevant.
There are bigger fish to fry.
It is not important.

Another example of worrying about the wrong problem.

SR,

Since the RBA put out a report in August predicting that the downturn in the economy would lead to increased unemployment to over 6%, and Labor and the greens have blocked all saving measures, even those they promised in the election, there is no reason to believe that this is not going to happen.

The real values of the private
bankers and the City of London exposed for all to see.
Whilst hundreds of thousands of British soldiers were dying
on the killing fields of Flanders and elsewhere doing what
they saw as their patriotic duty, British bankers, safely out of
danger and not sharing the appalling conditions on the Western
Front, were only interested in one thing – how to make obscene
profits from Britain’s desperate efforts to win the war.

To say that the private bankers and the City of London have
the morals of sewer rats is to be extremely unkind to our little
rodent friends. But this is the clincher. As a direct result of
the greed and treason of the British private bankers IS REVEALED

hyperinflation
spiralled out of control and a loaf of bread was
bought with a barrow load of almost worthless paper money.
To this I just say look again at what actually happened in Germany
at that time.

It was not the Weimar’s treasury but it was
the privately controlled central bank, the Reichsbank, who
was printing the money, coupled with the extreme actions of
currency speculators and foreign investors that caused all of
the problems.

Take a look at these two links:

Dear Shadow Minister,

You say;

“Since the RBA put out a report in August predicting that the downturn in the economy would lead to increased unemployment to over 6%”

Well mate I have gone through the RBA report for August and it seems there was no mention of a 6% figure. Perhaps you read it somewhere else if so are you able to tell me where?

Both ABC Lateline and Channel 10 referred to the figure as the top end of expectations.
