Job ads go through the floor

The latest ANZ job ads survey has found total job advertisements slipped more than 10 per cent in February, the largest recorded monthly fall since 1999.

When I was handing out Liberal how-to-vote cards at the federal election the November before last, a bloke approached me and I offered him a leaflet, to which he replied, "no, mate - Kevin 07."

"Kevin 07, no job 08", I heckled back.

Little did I realise what a self-fulfilling prophesy that comment was.

Next time, I'll just be sticking with the party slogan!
