AUSTRALIA: SEEK note that "the latest SEEK Employment data shows a 39.7%

month-on-month growth in jobs advertised. The industries contributing most

significantly to month-on-month job ad growth are Hospitality & Tourism (up

138%), Trades & Services (up 36%) and Manufacturing, Transport & Logistics (up

33%). Kendra Banks, Managing Director, SEEK ANZ comments: "We continued to see

promising signs within the employment market during May, with all states and

most industry sectors showing positive month-on-month job ad growth. Looking at

the states, it's interesting to see Victorian job ads bouncing back (up 48.1%

m/m) at a faster rate than New South Wales (up 31.1% m/m), despite easing

restrictions at a later date and maintaining strict social isolation measures.

And while their state borders remained closed, Queensland is also showing signs

of improvement, with job ads growing at 48.4% month-on-month. We are encouraged

to see industries which were hardest hit by the coronavirus pandemic rebounding

at a good pace.""
