Projects hire more hands

Two of Gold Coast's biggest highrise projects are set to hire more workers, defying the impact of the economic crisis which has led to lay-offs at Queensland construction sites.
About 500 workers are employed by builder Grocon on the Soul site at Surfers Paradise and the Oracle at Broadbeach.
Grocon Queensland's general manager, Neil Baxter, said a further 370 workers were expected to be hired across both projects next year.
"These two projects will not be completed until 2011 so employment will continue for some time", Mr Baxter said
