At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all.
Â
Job Ads: 8/10
"Yet more data this week that shows there are jobs, jobs, and more jobs."
Â
Recruitment Issues: 4/10
"Oh, the irony. Work galore and yet so little take up.
This will bite us, you can't grow using no people."
Â
Govt's Visa Changes: 6/10
"They're overdue and not nearly enough.
But with a government that doesn’t get it, we'll take it."
Â
Global Economic Forecasts: 7/10
"The World Bank came in with yet more growth forecasts that show the planet is on the comeback path in a very, very big way.
Bring it on."

"Tangible evidence that the world has lost the plot."
Â
The Nurses' Strike: 6/10
"I doubt many don’t back their cause, but standby for a heap load more where this came from.

Â
Greg Murphy's Bathurst Comeback: 8/10

Â
Elliot Johnstone Signing with the New York Mets: 8/10

How good?"
Â
