Mining services company Brierty says up to 100 jobs could be on the line after Fortescue Metals Group suddenly terminated a contract six months early.
Not really off topic. I too thought of posting similar "good news". Nothing really stood out though. However 7000 + 9000 jobs created stands out!
Hope they're not just for part-time juniors! ???
IF you read the fine print, Woolies CEO says the job creation IS conditional on forward growth and sales remaining strong.

So, there is an IF factor here. The estimated new jobs are not set in concrete by any means, whereas the rapidly increasing number of job cuts to date have been.

Sadly, we're in the situation now where it's very much a case of anything being better than nothing. At least it's a job.Hope they're not just for part-time juniors! ???
I lost my job recently, but can't get Newstart allowance as I have more than the asset cut off point (>$250,000, I think). My neighbour is in the same position (yes both were bankers). Thus neither of us are counted in the unemployment figures but both of us are looking for jobs.
Interesting conundrum - should I spend the amount I have above $250k (renovation already planned before retrenchment) so we can get Newstart and parenting payment or keep the extra cash unless I have trouble finding a job?
It's a funny thing - you could have a $20m house that you live in but as long as your other assets are less than $250k, you can still get Newstart. I own my house but only worth six figures not eight......
I'm not complaining (much) as I know lots of people are much worse off than me

Dominos takes on white collar workers
http://money.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=759719
Out of work professionals are quitting the grim corporate scene to “sell more pizzas, have more fun” as pizza deliverers for Dominos.
While the pizza chain traditionally takes on a mix of second jobbers and university students as pizza deliverers, Dominos' boss told ninemsn that the downturn in the economy has seen white collar workers apply for jobs delivering pizzas.
Dominos has already filled 1,500 positions and is recruiting a further 2,500 workers to join its 14,000 strong workforce in Australia.

It really is a terrible system. I lost my job in January, and while I don't have $250K in assets (yet) I can't get Newstart payments until April due to the liquid assets test.
Although if I had spent all my money and not saved or invested it, I would have received Newstart in one week. As my Dad said to me, Centrelink helps the people who do the wrong thing, while people who do what is right get penalised.
Oh well.
Not fair, don't know what can be done about that except cheat, you have right on your side so just find a way round it, the rules are so bad they should be broken.
Good luck.
