The Minister mentioned economic competitiveness. This has been key to the success of the economy. Our investment in human capital, research and innovation is crucial. The Minister mentioned that we have had 90,000 jobs in quarter 1. We pride ourselves on investing in these areas where we have high-value jobs. Is there a divide by sector in where those jobs been created? Are they high value? Are they potentially in lower wage or vulnerable parts of the economy?
