WORK hours have remained steady despite the federal government’s rolling back of JobSeeker support amid the ongoing pandemic, according to a new report by the Australian National University (ANU).
Surveying more than 3500 adult Australians, the study by the ANU Centre for Social Research and Methods (CSRM) found employment had remained stable, with about 60 per cent of the population in work between January and April.
That number is even more impressive given those findings cover the period immediately following the cessation of the JobKeeper scheme and the JobSeeker supplement, says study co-author and CSRM director, Prof Matthew Gray.

SIXTY-four per cent of Australian adults believe the COVID-19 vaccine roll out is not being handled well, according to a new study from the ANU Centre for Social Research and Methods.

“Those who had said they would vote for a party grouping other than the Coalition were less likely to think the process was going well,” Prof Biddle said.
“While still under half of the population, 45.3 per cent of those who said they would vote for the Coalition said the vaccine process was going well.
