The Social Development Ministry announced today which areas unemployed people will not be allowed to move to if they want to retain their benefit.

Under the Government's 'Jobs Jolt' programme, unemployed people will be barred from moving to 259 areas nationally.

Unemployed people could still move to no go zones, many of
which are remote, if they could prove they had work lined up or were able to get to areas where employment was available.
