Qld: Qld opposition says job figures not so good

Queensland Opposition Leader JOHN-PAUL LANGBROEK says the state's job growth figures
aren't as good as the government says .. because they include a lot of part time jobs.

The state has recorded eight straight months of job growth .. with unemployment dropping
to 5.5 per cent from 5.6 per cent last month.

But Mr LANGBROEK says the reality is that a part time job of as little as one hour
a week is not a bread winning job .. and a lot of people don't have the hours of work
they want.
