This case study begins with our client Kat, and her husband, who were located in Queensland but were going to relocate to Sydney, New South Wales within the week. As such, Kat was attempting to secure employment in Sydney before she relocated inter-state.

Posted by Ryan

in Australian Economy, Employment

As of January 2018, the Australian unemployment rate was at 5.5%. Which is great news but, this statistic, alone, does not show you the full picture of the current 2018 employment landscape.

Posted by Gio

in Employment

Why does Australia’s latest unemployment rates spark controversy, putting fear into the hearts of workers and why do they matter? It was in March, just five months ago, that Australia’s jobless rate sat at a 30-month low. Australia's unemployment rate rose to 5.8% in June of 2016 from 5.7% in the previous three months. Whilst this might seem bearable, September 2016 is forecast to demonstrate a year-high unemployment rate of 6%, which is only expected to gradually increase. As of mid-2016, over 1.3 million Australians were declared unemployed. Every month of 2016 has incurred a 0.1% increase in the unemployment rate. Sure,...
