After 6 months , if these retrenched locals still are jobless, they would not form part of the data to indicate how many locals are unemployed for 2024.
Magic eh?
Now you wonder why so many locals are doing food delivery and PHV!😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣
Can this be an indication that SG has entered into a period of stagflation with increasing COL and GDP growth continue to hover near zero.It’s time for the incumbent to completely reverse all failed policies which have created the sad economic situation SG are now facing before it’s too late comes the impending GE.
CPF still indicate they gave me $1900 for support when I didn’t receive a cent. Their data cannot be trusted!
Are you sure so little?!? Just like how they give support …only eligible household. I bet their counting is not even accurate. Maybe only count civil servants etc … Trust them to publish data?!?
Those 14,320 retrenched ones will be under MOM’s radar for only 6 months.
Should all of them fail to find a job within that period, MOM will write them off.
And boast afterwards a 0% unemployment rate.
WELL DONE !!!
