how is it tough at the moment?, page-13

Kingpins your description of me is half accurate :)


Matt747 I do not agree with your sectoral analysis

Construction is not slumping if you factor in mining

retail is growing just moving more online

banking and manufacturing is moving jobs offshore because our wages are too high - this is a good sign of the strength of the economy

Tourism is hurt by the high dollar - the fact the dollar is high is a good sign

So in other words it is good sign for the economy that some sectors are in decline.
