JOHANNESBURG - The South African economy has shed jobs once more, with the third quarter employment survey recording a year-on-year decline of 616,000 jobs.
However, there was an increase of 75,000 jobs when compared to the second quarter of this year, when the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic were harsher.
