Show Notes
The Government's target to reduce the number of people on the benefit hasn't gone to plan.
Recent statistics show a 12% increase in people getting assistance in the past 12 months.
22,000 more Kiwis are currently receiving financial support from the jobseeker benefit alone.
Employment relations specialist Max Whitehead joins the show to discuss the numbers.
