The Australian Labour Market for Migrants report provides information on Australian labour market conditions. It is intended to inform people interested in working in Australia on a temporary or permanent basis, and to organisations providing services to migrants and visa applicants.
The report notes that while the Australian labour market continues to perform well, some economic indicators suggest the Australian labour market is softening and may experience subdued conditions over the period ahead.
The Hot Topic provides an overview of the geographic and labour market distribution of the Australian population, with key findings including:
- recently arrived female migrants had higher unemployment rates than male migrants (except for the Australian Capital Territory)
- For 2022-23, Net Overseas Migration (NOM) was highest in New South Wales and Victoria, and lowest in Tasmania and the Northern Territory.
