More than 1.8 million people are unemployed or looking for more work as the Morrison Government’s plan for low wages and insecure work continues to stall economic growth.

Unemployment has stayed flat at 5.2 per cent seasonally adjusted, underemployment and underutilization both increased by 0.2 per cent to 8.4 and 13.6 respectively according to data released this morning by the ABS.

Insecure work and our broken bargaining system are combining to make it harder than ever for Australians to find good, secure jobs.

More than a million people now have two or more jobs, and we know that these people actually earn less than people with only one job – the Morrison Government is creating a new class of hyper-insecure workers with no pathway to secure, stable employment.
