The Olivier Internet Job Index has hit yet another new record with 177,885 jobs counted on the major Australian job boards in August. Thatís an increase of 3.54% over July and the fourth successive monthly increase. Job ads have grown 30.96% in the past 12 months. Some major sectors surged last month. Education rose 13.97%; Transport was up 13.29% and Healthcare job ads increased 9.34%.
The continuing growth in the employment market goes against some economistsí predictions, and some economic indicators. These record breaking months are the result of a number of drivers, Robert Olivier, a director of Olivier Group, says. The overall growth reflects very real problems employers are facing. Talking to CEOs I hear that there are now systemic shortages of skilled tradespeople and professionals.
