In July, job ad levels rose for the first time since January largely due to growing demand in New South Wales and Queensland.
Job ads on seek.com.au are 20.0% higher than in July 2019, demonstrating that the market continues to be tight. But, with applications per job ad also continuing to rise month-on-month, up 4.4% in June, candidates are now seeing more competition for those roles on offer.
The Hospitality & Tourism industry had jobs rise 12.4% month-on-month, with roles such as Wait Staff, Chefs & Cooks and Bar Staff all increasing in available opportunities for candidates. This is the fastest growth in demand for Hospitality & Tourism workers since job ads peaked mid-last year.
