Unemployment is much less than that of the last months of LNP. Forecasts were that it would hit close to 5% by now.

The unemployment rate needs to be around 4% to create a pool. Otherwise business has to offer a premium wage to attract staff. Imagine being a business owner and having just one person submit a job application. If that person is not a dead beat then you need to be offering a damn good wage. Remember when the jobless rate was under 3%. Signs in every window "STAFF WANTED" Restaurants were closing because they couldn't get staff.
