Johnston discusses 'major' vacancy rate in job market
'Major' job vacancy rates across the Island are, in part, behind a decision to temporarily scrap the work permit system.

Government says 99 percent of work permit applications made currently are approved.
With an aging population, and fewer residents paying tax as a result, Enterprise Minister Tim Johnston says public services could suffer without new faces settling here:
