ANC 'to halve unemployment'
By Xolani Mbanjwa & Sapa-AFP The ANC vowed on Monday to halve unemployment by creating five-million jobs as it outlined its revamped economic priorities in the build-up to next year's elections.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development said unemployment may have peaked in the OECD area in May 2010, but that nations in the region will have to create about 17 million news jobs to return employment levels back to where they were before the financial crisis.
