South Australian Premier Mike Rann was quick to take credit for the booming Australian economy yesterday following the release of the latest jobless figures.
Mr Rann said that 97% of all jobs created in South Australia last year were full-time jobs.
"This continues the excellent track record of full-time job creation in South Australia under this government with three out of every four jobs created since March 2002 being full-time."
Despite this, the unemployment figure for South Australia was up marginally in December from 4.8% to 4.9%.
"Labour market participation, in trend terms, has now risen in this state for seven consecutive months,"
"This means that South Australians are showing confidence in their prospects of winning a job in the strong labour market and more are now actively looking for work," he added.
