Skills Shortages In Australia Mean That More Companies Will Be Looking to Recruit From Overseas

admin — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 09:10:04 +0000

According to the Australian Institute of Management there is an acute shortage of skilled Australian workers in the construction, engineering, marketing and sales sectors. This means that Australian employers will be likely to step up their recruitment of overseas skilled workers.

The shortages are due to the continuing growth of the Australian economy, the continued growth of the mining sector, but also due to the failure of the education system in ensuring that school leavers are properly trained via apprenticeship schemes.

Australian Job Vacancies – Continued Growth

admin — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 10:00:23 +0000

According to the Australian, August 2010 saw a rise of 9.8% in job vacancies throughout Australia.

Of this, over 163,000 jobs were advertised in the public sector and over 17,000 in the public sector.

What does this mean in terms of migration?

Hopefully it will mean that the Government will begin to realise that with the decrease in migration numbers in the 2009/2010 year employers across the board, and throughout Australia, will really struggle to fill job vacancies unless there is a change in the Government’s recent over-cautions attitude to migration.

Demand for Skilled Workers in Australia – On the Rise Again

admin — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 13:09:26 +0000

According to the Bureau of Statistics, Australia, the demand for workers in Australia is still on the rise:

June saw Australia’s unemployment rate calling to 5.1 per cent, the lowest recorded rate since January 2009. This translates to a net rise of approximately 45,900 jobs. Well above the predicted job rate increase and the biggest net jobs gain since since January.

Of course the implications of the increasing demand for jobs should mean that politicians stop playing politics, and start looking at the real numbers and what such shortages bode for the Australian economy.
