Abstract
I provide six possible employment creating policy options within the arena of principally, but not
exclusively, active labour market policy. The notion is that interventions in these areas should provide
for short-term and possibly long-term employment creation avenues and options for the currently
unemployed. In some cases, interventions are provided that could plausibly also stem the severe
loss of jobs the economy experienced since the recession.
