The Mike Hosking Breakfast - Een podcast door Newstalk ZB - Dinsdagen
The former WINZ boss says a jump in Work Ready Jobseekers is no surprise. The Ministry of Social Development's September figures show the number of people on the benefit has increased by almost 12% in a year. It means more than 12,000 people are receiving the weekly payment. Former WINZ boss Christine Rankin told Mike Hosking the increase was predicted by economists. She says it's obvious it's going to get worse before it gets better. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
