The headline from yesterday reads,
Increase in benefit numbers smaller for Sept
Unfortunately the only benefit statistic released was the unemployment benefit.
Which makes me wary.
It is nevertheless good news that fewer people have needed to resort to the dole.

Its only the INCREASE that is smaller.
If you differentiate enough times, there's always some good news!
The only good news will be when the dole amounts are zerored, or the numbers receiving the dole go down while the numbers of unemployed go up - so people are going off the dole into the gutter!
We all know what is required to make NZ more productive. Eliminating the dole is close to the top of the list!
