We need proper paying jobs

I refer to the proposed scrapping of JobBridge.

The current “recovery” will mean nothing if something isn’t done now to provide decent paying jobs to the 143,000 people (approx) who are still enduring long-term unemployment in this country.

There are many highly skilled and experienced people among that 143,000, including myself. To say we need “upskilling” is to insult us. All we need is a “start” in the good old fashioned sense of that word.
