EMPLOYMENT growth is still well short of what the federal government promised two years ago, shadow treasurer Joe Hockey says.
Data on Thursday showed the unemployment rate unexpectedly fell to 5.5 per cent from 5.6 per cent as the number of people in employment jumped by 50,100 in April.
But Mr Hockey said since June 2011 employment had increased by 263,000, well short of the 500,000 Treasurer Wayne Swan committed to two years ago.
"Wayne Swan ... will need to create 237,000 jobs in two months to keep his solemn word," Mr Hockey said in a statement.
He said the treasurer has already abandoned his guarantee to deliver a surplus this year, to keep gross debt below $250 billion by year's end, to increase Family Tax Benefit A and to deliver legislated tax changes under the carbon tax house assistance package.
"Labor simply can't be trusted on jobs and they can't be trusted on the budget," Mr Hockey said.
Mr Swan will hand down his sixth budget next Tuesday.
