37 000 More Jobs In The Western Cape

By

Dear Editor

Too many people, especially young people, do not have jobs, or have given up looking for jobs, in the Western Cape.

However, we welcome the fact that 37 000 more jobs have been created quarter-on-quarter and that we have the lowest expanded unemployment rate in the Western Cape.

The Quarterly Labour Force Survey for the fourth quarter of 2021, released by Statistics South Africa today (29 March 2022), records employment growth of 37 000 quarter-on-quarter and records the lowest expanded unemployment rate of 30.4% in the Western Cape.

Which is credit to businesses, who have been hit hard by pandemic, and who are working hard to recover, and which is why we remain committed to backing business to drive economic growth and job creation in the Western Cape.

Regards

David Maynier
Provincial Minister of Finance and Economic Opportunities

Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth. Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.
