Australia’s job market recorded a 1.9% rise in online job ads last month (seasonally adjusted). Advertisements increased across all major occupation groups, with Technicians and Trades Workers seeing the biggest lift. Growth was also seen across all skill levels and in most states and territories.
Despite this monthly rise, job ads were down 6.7% over the past year. The drop was more pronounced in capital cities than in regional areas.
