However, overall hiring remained well above its pre-pandemic level.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>JobKeeper wage subsidies saved at least 700,000 jobs during the pandemic, t<a href=\"https:\/\/rba.gov.au\/publications\/rdp\/2020\/pdf\/rdp2020-07.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">he Reserve Bank of Australia estimates<\/a>. The program was gradually wound down beginning September 28 and ended March 28.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the lead-up to that date, JobKeeper\u2019s prospective removal worried the business community, particularly in areas such as hospitality and tourism where the impact of COVID-19 was still being felt. For much of the past year, the JobKeeper wage subsidy held the Australian economy together, initially limiting unemployment and then driving economic recovery.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using Indeed Australia data, we track hiring since JobKeeper finished, focusing on the areas most reliant on JobKeeper payments. It turned out that hiring continued its impressive recovery during April, even in occupations reliant on JobKeeper, suggesting that the Australian economy has been able to weather reduced fiscal support.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is evidence that businesses are fairly optimistic about their prospects. Such strong hiring points to future employment gains, and the Australian labour market may continue to tighten over the rest of the year. It also indicates that economy-wide subsidies are no longer necessary, even if support for certain industries may still be warranted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Who was using JobKeeper?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>JobKeeper usage varied considerably across industries, particularly once the pandemic recovery began.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Construction received $1.67 billion in JobKeeper subsidies in the December quarter, more than any other industry. However, relative to its size, it was just the sixth most-reliant industry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The industries that relied most on JobKeeper were those heavily impacted by COVID lockdowns. The program covered one-quarter of the wage bill in arts &amp; entertainment,&nbsp; followed by 16.6% in accommodation &amp; food services, 14.8% in \u2018other services\u2019 and 10.6% in agriculture.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By comparison, JobKeeper usage was minimal in industries such as mining, healthcare and financial services.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/StoFVJ2HOhzmfxTmMWuyzAotw53dr1pisEQUO2P84Ho6pOvKcPbWx4TCu_cWYyBHKKQm1mlU8_40jc_6nyeuDfpBWeyLVMh-4EKOjaAm6GT8wNKsG7RG3TykkQT7G_5P_wInWKZF\" alt=\"Bar chart showing australian jobkeeper payments by industry\" \/><figcaption>Bar chart titled &#8220;Australian JobKeeper payments by industry.&#8221; With a horizontal axis ranging from 0% to 30%, Indeed compared the percent share of industry compensation of employees among various occupations. Arts and recreation services relied most of JobKeeper wage support with 25% of subsidies in December quarter 2020. Caption added post-publication.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The industries relying heavily on JobKeeper are those where we\u2019d expect either job losses or reduced hiring. These industries were more likely to be hit by COVID-19 restrictions and suffer lower profitability than areas of the economy where JobKeeper payments were relatively low.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The hiring impact of removing JobKeeper<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of May 14, Indeed Australia job postings have increased in every occupational category since March 28. There have been occupations where postings fell briefly, for a week or two, but only temporarily.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Postings for construction, the largest recipient of JobKeeper subsidies, has increased the least, up 2.3% during the period. It would be a mistake, however, to view the job market for construction workers as weak.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On May 14, construction job postings were 72% above their level on February 1 last year \u2014 that is, far more construction jobs are available than before the pandemic. Furthermore, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abs.gov.au\/media-centre\/media-releases\/building-approvals-continue-their-record-climb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">building approvals have increased sharply in recent months<\/a>, which should generate new jobs over the next year or two.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Post-JobKeeper hiring has picked up to a greater extent in other occupations, including in those heavily reliant on JobKeeper payments. Postings for food and beverage jobs have increased 27.1%, transportation is up 11.9% and office and administrative support increased 11.1%. Hiring in retail and arts, culture and sports roles, jumped 7.8% and 5.7%, respectively. Each of these occupations relied on JobKeeper throughout the pandemic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/yuXjoRwICLZ66EHF-SyfozW8bylmPnzwGclGHFIARCX0kwD0Ot36fzHKI21oduSxvokC9cNJLxvBp27CVsUDHZtzpharL6yePznyNvao1Dc4mEHeOZveMDjgZxDgnovZKb3u3nNq\" alt=\"Bar chart showing australian job postings by occupation group at Indeed\" \/><figcaption>Bar chart titled &#8220;Australian job postings by occupation group on Indeed.&#8221; With a horizontal axis ranging from 0% to 40%, Indeed compared the percent change in job postings among various occupations since 28 March 2021 and 14 May 2021. Job postings rose most in education, up 37.7% from March 28 to May 14, 2021. Caption added post-publication.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Postings ramped up most in education, which rose 37.7% from March 28 to May 14. JobKeeper was not widely utilised in education, although not always by choice. Universities were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.afr.com\/work-and-careers\/education\/universities-dealt-dud-hand-in-jobkeeper-funding-lottery-garnaut-20210219-p5745r\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">largely denied JobKeeper payments<\/a> at a time when they were reeling from a drop in international students. Nevertheless, education postings have surged, reflecting strength outside universities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the end of JobKeeper had minimal impact on hiring trends and Australia\u2019s impressive recovery continued to strengthen in April and early May. While discontinuing JobKeeper will surely be challenging for some businesses, the broader economy appears well placed to absorb the impact of reduced fiscal support and thrive over the second half of the year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Methodology<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This post utilises seasonally adjusted job postings, using a seven-day trailing average.
