Employment is up – but only in the public service

One thousand people have been put on the public payroll since March. Isn’t that extraordinary?
It’s a trough-fest.
Meanwhile, in the rest of the market, it’s Unemployment that’s gone up: by 750 last month alone.

They have thousands more to go. Are they going to put them all on the public payroll?
A sad scenario. sad sacks hired, productivity declines, down to the depths we go.
No wonder they need to sell those passports and fast.
X’arukaza – u dan apparti l-promotions interni li thanzru fihom dawk li emmnu fl-ghajta ‘Taghna Lkoll’.
Sabuhom il-flus issa l-Bagit Office, l-PAHRO u l-RRAG? Kemm kienu jitqammlu taht GONZIPN u ma japprovawx impjiegi halli jdawru n-nies kontra l-PN.
Gvern u civil immorali.
Daz-zgur li l-flus mill-bejgh tac-cittadinanzi ahjar minn dawk tal-EU. Tal-EU jigu ha jgawdi l-poplu Malti kollu filwaqt li mill-flus tac-cittadinanzi igawdu l-ftit.
Unemployment rose by 750 last month (or was it the one before that?) while 1000 were put on the taxpayer’s expense in 9 months.
That means:-
1. a deduction in the number of persons who, one way or another, are contributing to Malta’s GDP – and to the public coffers by way of tax payment while, presumably, receiving benefits of some sort from that source, and
2. an increase, far greater, of payments from the public coffers to those gifted with a ‘job mal-gvern’.
May I suggest to Edward Scicluna to momentarily take his attention away from ‘Henley and Something’ and have a good look at Mr Micawber’s simple – but very factual – economic theory about expenditure outweighing income.
Happened in ”56; happened in ’71 to ’87: happened in ’96; it is happening now. With Labour, it is déjà vu all over again.
Already cooking and coming up soon: national budget failure, closely followed by economic collapse.
In a few words “gas down ghal gol-hajt”, although I would rather say “engine switched off, brakes out of action, and skeltering downhill without any possibility of ever stopping safely”
Stay there and have a look how Joseph Muscat is solving the great mess in every department that gonzipn made., and what do you say MIN JAF about those 500euroes he took for himself behind your back . Gonzipn is a failure and so is simple simon and co.
We’re watching but not much is happening.
As regards the €500 per week, Scicluna admitted that he agreed with this and all the rest found ways around it. Mizzi alone got an increase of not €500 per week but 11x that per week (€5,700 per week). Our PM is getting that €500 per week by renting an old Alfa to the government. Bla misthija.
Mintoff would be so proud right now. Veru liberali wkoll dawn. They have no idea what the word means but they bandy it about like nobody’s business.
Today, the NSO was/is due to publish the latest updates on Un/employment. (See Calender on nso.gov.mt)
Usually these are issued at 11am, or at the very latest, Noon.
Strangely, it’s 12.32pm, and so far no update has been issued.
There are now 1,000 more people on the public payroll than there were last March.
Compare this to the last full year of the PN administration, when government jobs WENT DOWN by a thousand.
Step by step we are going back to the days of the governments led by Dom Mintoff and K. Mifsud Bonnici.
And yet, those who felt the need for a change told us not to rake up the past performance of the MLP.
1000 people + have been employed in the government sector. Since hundreds retire every year and yet the number has INCREASED by 1200 so most probably something between 1500-1800 were employed with the government in 9 months.
New posts are still being created and more vindictive removals are taking place or are planned. Several transfers, reshuffles and frame-ups are currently being instigated.
go and wash your faces all of you. Stay in opposition for the next not 25 years but 35 years.You are good for nothing take care of your beloved superman Jason Azzopardi
