AUSTRALIA: SEEK notes that "the coronavirus pandemic has caused widespread

disruption to the labour mkt and SEEK is seeing a range of industries respond in

very different ways. Hospitality & Tourism was one of the 1st sectors to be

impacted by the pandemic. Job ads declined week on week throughout March, -13%,

-26%, -69.2% & -84.1%. SEEK saw employers & biz owners looking for roles within

the sector, such as bar staff, housekeeping, guest services, tour guides,

airline staff & travel agents, cease or stall their plans completely. However,

while still in decline, the Community Services & Development and Healthcare &

Medical sectors are showing some pockets of activity. Roles in aged care &

disability support, and child welfare, youth & family services have remained

steady as have nurses practicing general medical & surgical, as well as critical

care & ICU. We know that employers are either scaling up or winding back their

recruitment needs at a rapid pace, and there are far greater applications per

job ad than what we typically see across almost all sectors."
