Pension raided so where are the jobs

Since the government helped themselves to a slice of my pension in order to create jobs, where are they?

Defacto there are none, no drop in unemployment. Not getting any better.

We have interns ( Modern day young slave) All enthusiastic, but the company is not going to keep them, just rotate with new ones.

We need real Jobs... Jobs to support a Family in Ireland. Where are they? Stop bolloxing around with Radio talk on the church... where are the Jobs?

Are the positions full time? If so, how can you expect somebody to work for €190 + €50 a week? Considering the increasing prices over petrol, electricity, gas and food, it simply is not possible to have any standard of living on €250 working full time.

That's it... you can't. They are not real jobs just state aid really to get kids into company's to get experience.

We have 2 interns. They are used to file documents.

You have to consider if the unemployment rate would now be worse if no action had been taken. Maybe unemployment might have kept on rising rather than more or less levelling off as it has now. I'm not saying that it would be, just that it has to be considered.

There is also the issue of the lag that seems to exist between an economy improving and jobs being created - many many years in some cases, historically.

Well, on what date was the money taken from your pension? Oh right

hmmm

"Jobs" was just a convenient excuse, the Pension raid was the direct theft of private sector worker (post tax) assets to pay for our bloated government, PS workers & social welfare systems.

We'll probably see more "cutbacks" in the budget which involve taxing the private sector worker who is trying to save for their future.

Graduates(which is who it's aimed at) under 25 wouldn't get 250 they'd only get 150 or 196. Imagine people from the country moving to dublin working 40 hr week in an admin role for the basic dole. Rent and transportation cost alone would leave you penniless:mad: and then working with people doing the same job getting decent wage. So as the joker said "If you’re good at something, never do it for free" because you'll only encourage more of these "internships"

The pension levy had little to do with creating jobs. It's my belief that it was a litmus test to see how the population would react to taxes on what should be sacrosanct; private wealth.

It was also cleverly (or perhaps more correctly, deviously) applied only to private sector workers to further drive a wedge between them and their public servant countrymen. The quoted post above can adduce to that.
