SA:SA in 'crisis' as job ads fall: Libs

ADELAIDE, May 9 AAP - South Australia is in an "unemployment crisis" with job advertisements
falling, the Liberal opposition says.

Opposition employment spokesman David Pisoni said the latest ANZ job advertisement
survey showed advertisements fell by 2.2 per cent in SA last month.

Mr Pisoni said it was the largest fall of any state and put total advertisements down
15 per cent over the past year.

"South Australians are sick and tired of the woeful state of employment under Labor,"

Mr Pisoni said.

"Labor's failure to manage the state's economy is stifling employment opportunities
for South Australians and making businesses nervous.

"Labor has placed South Australia in an unemployment crisis."

The ANZ said nationally job advertisements on the internet and in newspapers increased
one per cent in April to be 20.5 per cent more than the same month in 2010.

However, newspaper job ads fell 3.4 per cent, while internet job ads rose 1.2 per cent.
