Roy Morgan Unemployment estimate for April 2010 is 6.6%, an estimated 760,000, down 76,000, the lowest since December 2008. While this is good news for the Rudd Government it is critical to recognise that unemployment is never uniform across the country.
In the two years, since the ALP came to Government, unemployment has averaged 6.3% but has been much higher in some crucial ALP marginal seats like Leichhardt, (unemployment 11.2%); Bonner (9.7%); Flynn (9.7%); Eden-Monaro (9.2%); Forde (8.9%); and Dickson (8.8%).
