“Premier Anna Bligh has launched a new $10 million program that will become the State Government’s latest weapon in the fight against rising unemployment – which in Far North Queensland has risen to 8.3% or about 11,900 people. Ms Bligh said the new JobsAssist program would direct Queensland government funding to help prevent job losses in vulnerable firms. “Funds will be directed towards early intervention in businesses to help them avoid closure and jobs losses,” she said.”
