New data shows there was a stark drop in jobs when JobSeeker was reduced – and there’s one type of business in particular that’s dumping their staff.

The number of payroll jobs went down by 0.7 per cent in just one week, between September 26 and October 3. That is significant because this week is the first week where the official statistics would be able to capture the effect of the new JobKeeper system.

This is happening as Victoria fixes its virus situation. It’s not the first time the series has fallen, but earlier falls are mostly related to the virus getting worse.

It reveals the biggest fall in jobs was among small businesses.
