SA: Labour market strength will help car workers says minister

South Australian Employment Minister PAUL CAICA says the strength of the state's labour
market points to Mitsubishi workers finding new jobs.

Responding to the latest labour market figures .. Mr CAICA says employment reached
record levels in SA in January with more than 775 thousand people in work.

The state's jobless rate also fell 0.3 percentage points to 4.6 per cent.

Mr CAICA says that's good news for the near one thousand Mitsubishi staff to be made
redundant .. with the closure of the company's Tonsley Park assembly operations in Adelaide
at the end of March.
