Government looks at ways to cut taxes as jobs market stumbles

The Morrison government is looking at ways to deliver tax relief to middle income earners as a much-needed boost to the economy after the nation suffered its biggest one-month fall in jobs in more than three years.Australian Bureau of Statistics reported total employment fell by 19,000 in October

The total number of people looking for work lifted by 17,100. There are now 726,000 people looking for work, the largest number since March 2017.The under-utilisation rate, which combines unemployment with the percentage of people who want more hours, is at 13.8 per cent and starting to trend upwards.

There are now 208,500 people out of work across the state, the worst result since February last year. The Treasurer has to include extra spending for the drought and to aged care in the budget update, but Mr Frydenberg said the government was open minded on tax relief.Senior members of the government have been canvassing private sector opinions on the overall strength of the economy and how it may benefit from extra tax relief.
