LABOUR Minister Leroy Baptiste told the country to expect 50,000 new jobs in phase two of the national recruitment drive, which in phase one revealed 20,000 job vacancies.

He spoke in the Senate debate on the budget on October 27, as the government's second speaker who came after Planning Minister Kennedy Swaratsingh.

His message was for the population to trust the UNC on job creation, based on its track-record relative to the PNM.
