The Democratic Alliance said the
high unemployment rate in South
Africa
The Quarterly Labour Force Survey
was released on Tuesday and it showed that 3.3 million young South Africans are
not in employment, education or training and in total 6.8 million South
Africans are unemployed or have given up looking for a job.
DA MP of Finance Tim Harris said
there have been some jobs created but this job creation has been also most
completely neutralized by an increase in the size of the labour source, and
increase of 70 000 in the number of job seekers who have given up looking for
work.
“The bottom line is there are 1
million more South Africans unemployed today, where when Jacob Zuma took
office,” Harris added.
