The Battlers

What's the mood on the ground where jobs are most at risk? Unemployment's on the rise. But what's the mood on the ground where jobs are most at risk? This week, Insight tests the waters in Logan in South east Queensland. Here, locals work mainly in the vulnerable industries, construction, manufacturing and retail. The federal government has already committed $42 billion in an economic stimulus package that they say will save some of these jobs. The big spending in areas such as infrastructure, schools and home insulation they predict will blunt the downturn. Has this government stimulus created jobs? Has it saved any? Join Insight as they take the temperature on the ground about jobs and job security among Logan locals. Insight asks what are the national implications for Prime Minister Rudd, as we take the temperature on the ground among the Logan locals about jobs.
