The Olivier Internet Job Index fell 2.55% in December, seasonally adjusted. There was a massive drop of 23,674 jobs in raw figures, bringing the total number of jobs advertised on the net in Australia in December to just 160,035 compared to 183,709 in November.
Last year, at this time, the IJI fell 1.98% (SA). Then it plummeted 16.55% in January 2005. So these numbers will drop again in January, says Robert Olivier, a director of the Olivier Group. Looking at the annual cycle on the graph you could call this the Christmas crevasse. But the December figures come after surprisingly strong November figures.
