Labor Day Frank says to Ernest: “I was born on Labor Day. My birthstone is a grindstone.” (Bob Thaves, in Frank & Ernest comic strip) If all the cars in the United States were placed end to end, it would probably be Labor Day weekend. (Doug Larson, United Feature Syndicate) Billy says to Jeffy while observing Dad sleeping on the sofa: “I think Daddy’s closed for Labor Day.” (Bil Keane, in The Family Circus comic strip) There is no labor a person does that is undignified, it they do it right. (Bill Cosby) A member of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters, Peter McGuire, is credited for the idea for Labor Day. He organized a Labor Day parade in New York City on the first Monday of September in 1882. Labor Day became a national holiday in 1894 when Congress authorized it. Congress chose the first Monday in September for the annual holiday because that was the day of McGuire’s original Labor Day parade. (Charles Reichblum, in Knowledge in a Nutshell, p. 229) An estimated 39 percent of employers kept their doors open on Labor Day and required employees to show up for work. (Time.com, as it appeared in The Week magazine, September 13, 2013) Drive carefully. It’s true that a lot of things come to an end on Labor Day – but you don’t have to be among them. (Bill Moiles, in Worcester, Mass., Telegram) One dog says to the other dog: “Labor Day! A holiday to honor of all working people. After she feeds me - I'll give her the rest of the day off.” (Patrick McDonnell, in Mutts comic strip) First man: “Isn’t today a holiday or something?” Second man: “Yeah, I think it’s Labor Day.” First man: “Really? I used to love holidays because I could stay home from work and goof off all day.” Second man: “Me too.” First man: “That’s the trouble with having nothing to do, you can’t stop and rest.” Second man: “I hear ya.” (Brian Crane, in Pickles comic strip)

Labor Day Homily Notes 2014 Labor Day gives us the chance to see how work in America matches up to the lofty ideals of our Catholic tradition. This year, some Americans who have found stability and security are breathing a sigh of relief. Sporadic economic growth, a falling unemployment rate, and more consistent job creation suggest that the country may finally be healing economically after years of suffering and pain. For those men and women, and their children, this is good news. Digging a little deeper, however, reveals enduring hardship for millions of workers and their families. The poverty rate remains high, as 46 million Americans struggle to make ends meet. The economy continues to fail in producing enough decent jobs for everyone who is able to work, despite the increasing numbers of retiring baby boomers. There are twice as many unemployed job seekers as there are available jobs, and that does not include the seven million part-time workers who want to work full-time. Millions more, especially the long-term unemployed, are discouraged and dejected. Our challenge this Labor Day is to rise to the challenge of solidarity posed by Jesus when he commanded, "[L]ove one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another" (Jn 13:34). The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches, "Socio-economic problems can be resolved only with the help of all the forms of solidarity: solidarity of the poor among themselves, between rich and poor, of workers among themselves, between employers and employees in a business, solidarity among nations and peoples" (No. 1941).

From 1 July 1995 Partner Allowance has only been granted to persons who are dependent partners of pensioners and allowees and who were born before 1 July 1955, have no dependent children and have little or no recent workforce experience. Other dependent partners have to qualify for an income support payment in their own right, such as Newstart Allowance. Partner Allowance was introduced in October 1994, and was paid to partners of persons receiving Job Search Allowance, Newstart Allowance, Sickness Allowance or Special Benefit if certain eligibility criteria were satisfied. Youth Training Allowance Youth Training Allowance was replaced by Youth Allowance on 1 July 1998 (see Youth Allowance). Widow Allowance From 1 July 2005 Widow Allowance new grants may only be made to women born on or before 1 July 1955. Widow Allowance, introduced on 1 January 1995, is payable to females aged 50 years or over who have become widowed, divorced or separated since turning 40 years (50 prior to 20 March 1997), if they meet a number of other criteria relating to current marital status and recent work experience. Mature Age Allowance From 20 October 2003, Mature Age Allowance was closed to new claimants. The payment ceased by October 2008 . Mature Age Allowance was introduced on 24 March 1994, and was paid to long-term unemployed persons aged 60 years and over (but below Age Pension age) who had been receiving income support for 9 months or more and who were eligible for Newstart Allowance. The introduction of Mature Age Allowance had a downwards effect on Newstart Allowance numbers from April 1994 until October 2003. Comparability of Data There have been significant changes to the data presented in this publication due to a number of events. The main changes are: the method of counting recipients; the inclusion of some CDEP recipients in the total recipient numbers; the introduction of Youth Allowance in July 1998; the way ‘job seeker’ is defined; the way duration is calculated; and the eligibility for Newstart Allowance and Youth Allowance (other) from July 2012. the cessation of grandfathered Parenting Payment provisions, which saw an increase in the number of Newstart recipients in January 2013. People using this data to construct time series should note the following comments.
Seasonal adjustment The ABS produces a seasonally adjusted series. The DSS labour market payment numbers data are not seasonally adjusted. Classification The ABS classifies a person as unemployed if he or she is aged 15 years and over, was not employed during the week before the interview, has actively looked for full-time or part-time work and is available to start work. From February 2004, people who had not actively looked for work because they were waiting to start a job within four weeks are also classified as unemployed. The Newstart Allowance and Youth Allowance (other) series generally count people who are eligible for and entitled to receive a payment aged over 15 years and under Age Pension age. Employment Newstart Allowance and Youth Allowance (other) recipients may be employed part-time, but within an income test limit; the ABS classifies a person as "employed" if, among other things, he or she has worked for one hour or more during the survey period. Timing The timing of collections of the series are different: DSS reports monthly average numbers of people both eligible for and entitled to receive Newstart Allowance and Youth Allowance (other). These monthly averages are calculated using figures collected for each Friday throughout the reference month. ABS numbers are based on a sample survey which interviews occupants of selected dwellings covering around 0.33% of the total Australian population. These persons are generally interviewed during the two weeks beginning the Sunday between the 5th and 11th of each month and the information obtained relates to the week before the interview takes place. Treatment of partners The ABS series includes unemployed persons whose spouse is working, irrespective of income, whereas Newstart Allowance and Youth Allowance (other) recipients are subject to an income and assets test for themselves and their spouse. Pensioners The ABS series includes persons being paid a pension but looking for work (e.g. sole parents in receipt of Parenting Payments looking for work). Non job seekers The overall Newstart Allowance and Youth Allowance (other) series includes persons who are not required to undertake jobsearch. These persons are separately identified in Tables 2 and 3,

ISSN: 2206-1363 Labour Market for Apprentices 2017 In Australia, apprenticeships provide a key training pathway for technicians and trades workers. While there is generally robust competition for apprenticeship vacancies, employers regard many applicants as unsuitable and there are opportunities for strong candidates to stand out. About this report More than 200 employers across five trade groups who advertised for an apprentice were surveyed. They were asked a range of questions about their recruitment experiences and what they sought in an apprentice. Employers are generally successful in their attempts to recruit an apprentice… …and they usually have a choice of suitable candidates. Employers received an average of 29.0 applicants per vacancy of whom 5.2 per vacancy were suitable The broader labour market for trades workers shows significant variation across trade groups and locations, which is also reflected in the labour market for apprentices.
fronting the attack Maciste knew they were there watching. He had been lined up with them, four rows of men, stood in submissive slave mode, hands clamped to the back of their heads. His back was to them. They could see what he could not. Taken a murderous lashing, his back on fire as he swayed up in the air. Breathing hard, sweat running off his hair, Maciste imagined the scene .. as the other slaves saw it. His sight blurred, his vision clouded by streaks of watery pain. But the fires in his back told him how he looked to them. When it stopped, when the stinging bites taken out of his back abated, Maciste had thought that was it. Fifty lashes. But the slavemaster was not done with him. "Turn the fucker round." Hands immediately began turning his suffering, turning him on the single rope to face the lines of watching slaves. ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ “Let the animals see.” Maciste hadn't given up the fight. But his back was burning him up. His bare backside screamed from the savagery of the beating. Already exhausted before this thuggery had even begun, still he had told himself he’d not give these morons the satisfaction. And he had managed. It had been a fight .. but he’d given it back to them as hard as he could. But not completely. Inevitable that the some cries would escape his tortured body. It had felt more like a hundred strikes, the agony on his sunburnt skin sending his exhausted senses in a sickening spin. Caught up in this own pain-maddened torment, with a bitter mixture of anger and dismay he’d heard them eventually break through. These last mind-crippling blows to the screaming muscles of his back had split his stubbornness open .. forced out sharp tortured cries. Beaten out of his burning back. Punching the wind out of his chest. Finally ripping down that dam of defiance blocking his fiery throat.
Newstart Allowance and Youth Allowance (other) recipients may be employed but within an income test limit; the ABS classifies a person as "employed" if, among other things, he or she has worked for one hour or more during the survey period. Timing The timing of collections of the series are different: DSS reports monthly average numbers of people both eligible for and entitled to receive Newstart Allowance and Youth Allowance (other). These monthly averages are calculated using figures collected for each Friday throughout the reference month. ABS numbers are based on a sample survey which interviews occupants of selected dwellings covering around 0.33% of the total Australian population. These persons are generally interviewed during the two weeks beginning the Sunday between the 5th and 11th of each month and the information obtained relates to the week before the interview takes place. Treatment of partners The ABS series includes unemployed persons whose spouse is working, irrespective of income, whereas Newstart Allowance and Youth Allowance (other) recipients are subject to an income and assets test for themselves and their spouse. Pensioners The ABS series includes persons being paid a pension but looking for work (eg. sole parents in receipt of Parenting Payments looking for work). Non job seekers The overall Newstart Allowance and Youth Allowance (other) series includes persons who are not required to undertake jobsearch. These persons are separately identified in Tables 2 and 3, and have then been excluded in subsequent tables. These people may be undertaking training, the development of self-employment opportunities, voluntary work or a combination of voluntary and part-time work which excludes them from jobsearch obligations. They may also be incapacitated or have another temporary exemption from jobsearch. Waiting periods The ABS series includes persons who are serving a waiting period before being granted Newstart Allowance or Youth Allowance (other), or whose allowance was deferred. Survey The ABS figures are derived from a Labour Force Survey which is a sample survey, whereas the DSS statistics are a complete count of those both eligible for and entitled to receive Newstart Allowance and Youth Allowance (other). For More Information Labour market information Other statistics on recipients of labour market related payments are available on request.
EXPLANATORY NOTES Introduction This publication provides monthly statistical information on DEEWR labour market and related payments delivered by DHS. These Explanatory Notes provide details of the scope and methodology of the publication, as well as the policy changes which have affected the data since the publication was introduced in December 1995 by the then Department of Social Security. Prior to December 1995, this publication was titled the Monthly Job Search and Newstart Allowance Statistics. Scope The primary focus of the publication is to provide information on unemployed people on Newstart Allowance and Youth Allowance, with a particular focus on the total number of job seekers. The numbers of people on Mature Age Allowance, Partner Allowance and Widow Allowance are also reported. Methodology Data in this publication relate to the average number of people who are both eligible (eg. meet ‘unemployed’ qualification) and entitled (eg. meet income and assets criteria) to receive a payment calculated over a reference month. Averages are calculated using figures collected for each Friday throughout the reference month. Due to a technical fault, the November 2010 figures are based on an average of data collected on the first and last Friday of the month, while the December 2010 figures are based on an average of data collected on the last three Fridays of the month, rather than an average of each Friday in the reference month. Table 1 provides information on the total number of unemployed people on Newstart Allowance and Youth Allowance. The Youth Allowance population is split into Youth Allowance students), Youth Allowance (Australian Apprentices) and Youth Allowance (other) categories. Numbers of people on Mature Age Allowance, Partner Allowance and Widow Allowance are also provided. Tables 2 and 3 provide a summary of the Newstart Allowance and Youth Allowance (other) populations and show the derivation of the respective job seeker populations (see the reference to job seekers in the Comparability of Data section of these Explanatory Notes). These populations are added together to derive the total number of job seekers. Tables 4 to 8 provide information on the total job seeker population. The earnings data in Table 8 is derived using a different methodology from that of the other tables in the publication. Table 8 is based on the combined population of job seekers who are eligible for and entitled to receive Newstart Allowance or Youth Allowance (other) at the end of the second last week in the month.

From 20 October 1996, Job Search Allowance and Newstart Allowance were combined into one payment - Newstart Allowance - which was payable to eligible recipients aged 18 years and over and to some people who were in receipt of Job Search Allowance and aged under 18 at 31 December 1994 (see Job Search Allowance). Prior to 20 October 1996, Newstart Allowance was payable to eligible persons over 18 years who had been registered as unemployed with the Commonwealth Employment Service (CES) for 12 months or more. Job Search Allowance From 20 October 1996, the payment was combined with Newstart Allowance to form one payment called Newstart Allowance (see Newstart Allowance). All Job Search Allowance recipients were transferred to Newstart Allowance. Sickness Allowance From 17 March 1996, persons in receipt of Newstart Allowance or Youth Training Allowance who became temporarily incapacitated no longer transferred to Sickness Allowance after 13 weeks. This change had the effect of increasing total Newstart Allowance/Youth Training Allowance figures but did not affect job seeker figures as those recipients who were incapacitated were excluded from the Newstart and Youth Training job seeker populations. Under current arrangements, these recipients remain on their existing payments but are exempt from the activity test for the duration of their medical certificates. People who become unemployed because of illness, and those who suffer a potential loss of income due to sickness, are paid Newstart Allowance because they are unemployed. Sickness Allowance for 16 to 20 year olds (and certain 15 year olds) was replaced by Youth Allowance, which was introduced on 1 July 1998 (see Youth Allowance). Partner Allowance From 20 October 2003, Partner Allowance was closed to new claimants. People on Partner Allowance before this date can remain on the allowance while they remain ‘current’, that is retain eligibility and entitlement for the allowance. From 1 July 1995 Partner Allowance has only been granted to persons who are dependent partners of pensioners and allowees and who were born before 1 July 1955, have no dependent children and have little or no recent workforce experience. Other dependent partners have to qualify for an income support payment in their own right, such as Newstart Allowance. Partner Allowance was introduced in October 1994, and was paid to partners of persons receiving Job Search Allowance, Newstart Allowance, Sickness Allowance or Special Benefit if certain eligibility criteria were satisfied.

Table 8 is based on the population of job seekers who are eligible for and entitled to receive Newstart Allowance at the end of the second last week in the month.
