Everyone should completely ignore the figures from the ABS, they have absolutely no credibility. Only Gillard and this government will use them because they are fudged and make the government look good. It is a cruel hoax on those searching for work. As a former economist I will go with the figures from the Roy Morgan Research Centre which comes up with 10.9% unemployment and 8.9% underemployment. So nearly 20% in total for unemployment and underemployment.
The way they do their polling and research is far more realistic and correct methodology which they have used consistently since 1949.
