Clarius Skills Index - June 2010 Quarter
Clarius Skills Index analyses and reports on the shortages and over-supply of skilled labour in 20 employment categories.
The Clarius Skills Index is the only national index which provides a clear picture of current and future availability of skilled labour against demand.
The Australian labour market continues to recover from the economic downturn with both business and consumer confidence remaining firmly in positive territory.
The Australian labour market picked up in the March quarter, with unemployment back down to 5.3 per cent – after nine months around 5.7 per cent. Recruitment activity accelerated in the March quarter, in line with the generally improving economic and labour market conditions.
The rising level of activity in the jobs market confirms that employers are preparing themselves for a growth year by getting new staff trained and ready to go, in line with their expectations of better sales and profits in coming months.
The labour markets for Construction, Mining and Infrastructure have seen strong growth in demand as well as skills areas related to the National Broadband Network (NBN) project. Moreover the Financial Services sector seems to be recovering quickly after having been hit hard in the wake of the GFC.
Clarius Group has again combined the knowledge of the Australian employment market from its Alliance, Candle ICT, Lloyd Morgan, SouthTech and The One Umbrella businesses, with the informed and technical advice of the respected economists, KPMG Econtech, to analyse, index and forecast the labour skills shortage or oversupply.
This report will help you to make informed decisions about current labour market conditions. With demand generally increasing after the economic downturn, some areas of skilled labour are already short of supply.
Clarius Group is once again proud to be partnering with KPMG Econtech to deliver this breakthrough Index.
