Alan McDonald: Employers and Manufacturers Association Head of Advocacy and Strategy on employment confidence reaching a 22 year low

Dela

A bleak attitude towards the employment market could be creeping close to the new normal. 

A Westpac-McDermott Miller survey for the June quarter shows confidence fell to an all-time low across both public and private sector employees.  

A net 60% of respondents believe it's hard to find a job – up from 46% last quarter. 

The Employers and Manufacturers Association's Alan McDonald told Mike Hosking the Iran war's hit people hard, but businesses are having to get on with things. 

He says if a peace deal doesn't stick, there are concerns for the next couple of quarters.
