Hundreds of thousands of NSW jobs lost as lockdowns bite | MattWadeSMH swrighteconomy

The number of paid working hours in NSW crashed to the lowest level since the latest outbreak began as lockdowns take a growing toll on the state’s economy.

The number of paid hours worked, which economists say provides the best measure of the effect of lockdowns, has plunged by 13 per cent in NSW since June and was lower in August than any time since the pandemic began. Nationally, there were more than 620,000 people working zero hours for economic or related reasons last month, an increase of almost 233,000 on July. This does not include people on annual leave.

I get vax makes people personally more safe. But they don’t prove a person doesn’t have covid. I really don’t understand what mandating it achieves. 🤔
