"Sure, if 2% of workforce lost their jobs, thus raising unemployment by 2% (I think?)"
Dave, you don't think too much. Not all will go into "unemployment" from this industry, as I said previously, they are mostly "trades" who can go back into other sectors...construction in non mining or move to other states where they are in demand.
The workforce in FIFO is by nature obviously much more flexible than the Ford factories of Vic.
