JOB CREATION

The PSA welcomes the Premier's announcement that he proposes to create 100,000 jobs.

The public sector comprises 12% of the South Australian workforce and accordingly, the PSA calls upon the Premier to immediately confirm that 12% of the 100,000 jobs will be created within the public sector.

On this basis, the PSA expects 12,000 additional jobs will be created in the South Australian public sector.

Further, in view of the Premier's commitment to training level jobs, the PSA seeks an immediate commitment from the Premier that additional traineeships and apprenticeships will also be created by Government within its own workforce.

“The public sector age profile is significantly higher than the private sector and it is essential that Government act to remedy this” said PSA General Secretary, Jan McMahon.
