'I will have $2 a day after bills': how jobseeker changes will affect people's lives

The Guardian revisits people who are experiencing unemployment for the first time due to Covid-19 to find out how changes to jobseeker, announced this week, will affect them

With the treasurer on Thursday predicting unemployment of 9.25% by the end of the year, and 13 people currently on jobseeker for every job advertised, the Guardian spoke to newly unemployed people about how jobseeker changes will affect their lives.

On Tuesday, the government announced that the jobseeker coronavirus supplement would be reduced by $300 to $250 per fortnight from 25 September.
