# The DA says converting the social relief of distress grant into a job seekers allowance and reforming collective bargaining are crucial steps to promote job creation. Following the release of the latest quarterly employment figures, which show 91-thousand fewer jobs, the party calls for urgent pro-growth reforms, including liberalising the energy market, supporting small businesses, and improving logistics. The DA’s Michael Bagraim believes these changes will help reduce the nearly 42-percent unemployment rate.
