CNBC reports that Australia’s government needs to come forward with a comprehensive plan for future job creation as the country tackles the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic, Shadow Treasurer Jim Chalmers said Friday.
The government has announced fiscal stimulus worth 289 billion Australian dollars ($206.54 billion) — around 14.6% of Australia’s GDP — to support workers, households and businesses affected by the virus outbreak. Australia expects its budget deficit to widen significantly and the economy is predicted to shrink by 3.75% this year.
Job losses are a major concern as the pandemic ended the Australian economy’s nearly three-decade growth streak — one of the longest seen in any country around the world.
Treasurer Josh Frydenberg in his July Economic and Fiscal Update said the unemployment rate is predicted to peak at around 9.25% in the three months that will end in December. Though the labor market is expected to strengthen beyond 2020 due to a pickup in demand, the unemployment rate will take time to decline, according to the update.
“What that shows is something like an extra 240,000 Australians are expected to lose their job between now and Christmas, to add to the million already without work,” Chalmers said on CNBC’s “Squawk Box Asia.” He added that this week’s budget update “should have had a plan” on how the government would create jobs once the temporary support measures trail away from the economy.
Data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics showed that the unemployment rate in June was at 7.4%, with as many as 992,300 people out of work.

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
