working one hour a week = EMPLOYED.

[nomadic]

I must admit I totally disagree with this article that says if you work an hour a week you are not employed. I agree with the government that if you work an hour you ARE employed and get no welfare. These people are obviously getting paid the minimum hourly wage of $500.00 so no need for dole DSP etc. GGRRROOOWWWLLLL!

"Associate Professor Dockery said one-hour working weeks were the least of the ABS's problems.

"A lot of issues are with people who overwork, so if people work many hours [the ABS] don't actually ask them if they would work less hours," he said.

"Certainly for mental health, we've got maybe just as big a problem of people working too many hours."'

So isn't it time to come to grips with the above issue and spread the load somehow? Although many working too many hours do it for the fame and adulation of being a much overpaid recognized public figure. Think Pollies, CEO,s and people such as Bezos, Zuckerberg et.al. Which brings us to wealth inequality; a much bigger story for another time, let alone only working an hour a week and being considered employed. It's unutterably farcical. Cheers bear
