Despite Clarence Valley Shire experiencing a a number of major infrastructure projects, such as a new gaol, major bridge project, Pacific Highway upgrade and more, the unemployment statistics appear to be on a two year trend increase. A task group including Council, Department Jobs and Small Business, RDA Northern Rivers and others are developing a number of actions to address this anomaly. This trend is in sharp contrast to the other six Councils areas in the Northern Rivers region, who are trending downward to near State averages.
