1. From July to August 2021, while New South Wales and Victoria were in lockdown to reduce the spread of COVID-19, the unemployment rate in Australia fell from 4.6% to 4.5%. At the same time the number of employed people decreased by 147,000 (from 13,169,000 to 13,022,000). Explain how these changes can happen at the same time. What is one possible factor leading to these changes? What impact could this situation have on a small business needing to recruit staff for their reopening?
2. The Australian federal government announced in September that financial support payments for people who lost work due to COVID-19 would end once 80% of the eligible population of a state was vaccinated. The support payments gave $750 per week to people who had lost at least 20 hours of work and $450 per to people who had lost between 8 and 20 hours.
