Hon CARMEL SEPULONI (Minister for Social Development and Employment): The monthly benefit update for May shows a further decrease in the number of people receiving a main benefit. As of 31 May, there were 357,591 people receiving a main benefit, a fall of 3,087 from April 2021. Overall, the number of people receiving a main benefit has fallen 32,010 since the end of January, and 20,484 of these people moved off the jobseeker work-ready benefit. It is clear that the Government's quick action in combatting COVID-19 has lessened the expected economic impact and kept people in jobs. We're not out of the woods yet, but the signs are very promising.
