But what is revealing is the impact of the supplement.
Those who received the jobseeker supplement payment were much more likely to be experiencing some form of financial stress than other households:
Forty-three percent of households receiving the jobseeker supplements experienced two or more symptoms of financial stress compared with less than half that number among all Australian households.
Again this is not surprising â we know those receiving the supplement were more likely to be in the poorest 20% of all households and we know that the poorest households suffer from financial stress the most (if they didnât they would not be poor!).
