Employment Australia
Employment Australia provides some tips about the job market in this country and some industries that showed growth. Employment in Australia was very tight during the first 7 years of the new millennium. Strong demand for capable staff and general skills shortage was a perfect combination for workers to find new careers and push their wages up.
Things have changed a bit in 2008 and 2009. News about companies affected by the global financial crisis that were reducing staff was rather frequent in the media. More people were competing for the same jobs. But news is based on statistics and on combined numbers. And recently, news is that employment in Australia is stabilizing. Not too many new jobs yet but no more cuts either. Financial services sector was the one that suffered a lot with permanent roles made redundant. But contract positions fared much better. Australia employment today is much stronger than what was forecasted during the recession. As per a survey of the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) of August 2009, the employment growth was stronger in Northern Territories and New South Wales. And the industries with the largest increases in jobs were health care and arts and recreation services. So industries that are linked to quality of life. Which is good and proves Australia deserves its "lucky country" brand.
