AUSTRALIA: The latest SEEK employment data shows "a 41.5% month-on-month growth

in jobs advertised. June employment data showed positive job ad growth for all

states and territories. While June was the second month of continuous

month-on-month job ad growth for the nation, the recent restrictions in Victoria

have meant that we're seeing job ad volumes begin to slow in the state. SEEK

data continues to show a correlation between the easing of restrictions and

growth in jobs advertised. Trades & Services made the strongest contribution to

job ad growth in June, up 51% month-on-month. Top jobs for the sector included

automotive trades, labourers, electricians, welders and boilermakers, and hair

and beauty services. The Hospitality and Tourism sector has been significantly

impacted by the coronavirus pandemic, as businesses were forced to either close

or limit their operations. An 80% increase in job ad volume in June should come

as welcome news for job seekers in the industry, however we expect this growth

to be short-lived in metropolitan Melbourne as the state re-entered lockdown in

early July."
