Another $70 million of government money is to be pumped into a scheme that helps to give workers a pay rise by funding productivity projects in companies.
Since the Inclusive Growth Programme was launched in 2010, about $30 million has been spent on more than 500 projects to help companies invest in equipment and redesign jobs.
As a result, about 33,000 low-wage workers have received increases to their basic pay averaging 10 per cent.
Convinced that the programme is working, the Government is injecting another $70 million over the next three years to help 70,000 more employees.
