JOHANNESBURG - The latest quarterly employment figures released by Stats SA show a significant blow to the job market, with a staggering 21,000 job losses in the first three months.
This gloomy trend includes an alarming 97,000 fewer job opportunities in March 2023 compared to the same period in 2022.
A worrying number of South Africans are being forced from full-time employment and are now resorting to part-time work in order to survive.
These disappointing numbers reflect the devastating effects of power cuts on the economy.
