Dole offices recruit staff as jobless figures rise

IF YOU are looking for a 100% recession-proof job, then you might want to consider upcoming openings at the local dole office.

Every office in the country might be awash with cutbacks but at the local Department of Social and Family Affairs offices, they have never been busier.

There’s more overtime than staff can cope with and temporary staff in several offices have had their contracts extended. Furthermore, at least 115 new staff are to be drafted into the sector due to the rapid increases in unemployment.
