Overall, demand for workers remains elevated, suggesting further tightening of the Australian labour market.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the end of May, job postings were tracking 120% ahead of their level on February 1, 2020, our pre-pandemic baseline, after adjusting for seasonal trends. Postings increased 11 percentage points in May, but were still slightly below their pre-Easter peak.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Australian postings remain high by international standards, with growth well above that in the US, UK and Canada. While recruitment has been strong in each of those countries, Australia has consistently outperformed, with our recovery beginning earlier and remaining stronger despite repeated COVID-19 lockdowns.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/F4d31F3UhCNA_RjZ1kscumNBDEUWEmaCDTc3jCqBqM6mLX-y2c2ipHhBlZIy4qYBYweQYqF1SalbtoJ2FK4yjrdtzPR1CDJUwIqtoGpqLH3bBXXa3KwXL-pwvQ0T5UgvdoYq_lwKqYAUJ9Dxqg\" alt=\"Chart titled &quot;Australian Job Postings on Indeed.&quot;\" \/><figcaption>Line graph titled \u201cAustralian job postings on Indeed.\u201d With a vertical axis ranging from -90% to 150%, Indeed tracked the percent change in job postings between February 1, 2020 and May 31, 2022.

However, with the unemployment rate already at 3.9% \u2014 a 48-year low \u2014 the ability to fill some of these vacancies is a growing concern. Furthermore, rising consumer prices \u2014 associated with supply-chain disruptions and higher commodity costs \u2014 may hamper job creation over the second half of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Postings gains centered in New South Wales and Victoria<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Postings growth in May was heavily concentrated on the east coast, with New South Wales and Queensland accounting for 60% of the national gain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On May 31, postings in New South Wales were 128% above their level on February 1, 2020, up from 117% a month earlier. Victoria at 124% and Western Australia at 120% weren\u2019t far behind. South Australia brought up the rear at 89%, but even Australia\u2019s laggard state displayed incredibly strong growth by global standards.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Higher postings in every state and territory are consistent with a further tightening of the labour market. Currently, the unemployment rate is lowest in Western Australia at 2.9% and highest in Queensland and South Australia at 4.5%.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/yDLgjYWNGIzudlJVK0p7MLC4Qs2WVHtUT86q7wdGF9pLBxak-8K1EIPfDdaJJkjvKc8wd-6A4OL5LbMprmzAGQipULImhGci-gWgR8uT4yqHcWUMivlHqMh8DASf6sZVLcaoTF3hUrtbfrBE2A\" alt=\"Chart titled &quot;Australian job postings on Indeed by state.&quot;\" \/><figcaption>Bar graph titled \u201cAustralian job postings on Indeed by state.\u201d With a vertical axis ranging from 0% to 150%, Indeed tracked the percent change in job postings for each state between February 1, 2020 and May 31, 2022.

Postings in these two categories were respectively 356% and 304% above their levels on February 1, 2020 \u2014 more than fourfold increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sectors hit hard by economic restrictions, such as food preparation, arts &amp; entertainment and retail, also continue to strengthen. All three are among the sectors with the strongest postings growth. However, filling some of these roles may prove difficult due to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiringlab.org\/au\/blog\/2022\/04\/21\/hospitality-recovery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sharp decline in Australia\u2019s youth population<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A range of sectors continue to lag the overall jobs recovery. Growth has been slowest in beauty &amp; wellness, up a mere 4% from February 1, 2020. It was followed by real estate, up 29%, and physicians &amp; surgeons, with a gain of 39%. In addition, conditions in the real estate industry could deteriorate in the near term following the Reserve Bank of Australia\u2019s moves to lift the cash rate by a cumulative 0.75 percentage point at their past two meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/PSgz8s0sWFpHxImG_6YZW76IOBik-Zrm14EliPD-DprlHmCQB3oT7dS30NMrGFtAWYavydSZU4fYOADlZttWtQYh90YNDVSvCiSdLPL8yVT6yiH1UwhmxT8fenBced3nSJxthGkOJY7JILUMXA\" alt=\"Chart titled &quot;Change in Australian job postings.&quot;\" \/><figcaption>Table titled \u201cChange in Australian job postings\u201d.

But what does it look like in Australia?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In February 2022, 9.5% of employed people had changed jobs over the past year. That\u2019s the highest level of job mobility since 2012, up from 8.1% before the pandemic. A combination of factors are probably driving this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, age seems to be important. Job mobility is much higher for younger people than for older people. In February, 17% of workers ages 15-24 changed jobs compared with 11% for those 25 to 44 and just 6.1% for the 45-64 age group. That\u2019s understandable given younger people are more likely to work in casual or part-time employment where jobs are often temporary and job security tenuous.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/IAWzWqmj9OEE3Q3lSutXBYR_nUz44h_YquzvwV9f9QGIQnp4fEIOpTU2NS2eroCx2-0UFdO0xFgOtdVHaDUV1V9slGPoqxSrmIAVhEVn_sctPkRvjbOdpiNo1c-BuFIcGhxDORxlPmb4eMuxPw\" alt=\"Chart titled &quot;Australian job mobility by age group.&quot;\" \/><figcaption>Bar graph titled \u201cAustralian job mobility by age group.\u201d With a vertical axis ranging from 0% to 18%, Indeed shows job mobility across different age groups. In February 2022, job mobility was 9.5% nationwide but was 17% for workers ages 15-24 and just 6.1% for those ages 45-64.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Geography is also significant. Job mobility is highest in the nation\u2019s capital at 12.8% \u2014 perhaps reflecting the revolving door of public policy and political staff \u2014&nbsp; while it is lowest in New South Wales at 8.3%. Mobility rates are probably influenced by differing sectoral and age compositions of state and territory workforces.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/bdxO67bEtaIyTeoLwORSneyc3GcT4q_QeLJuWT_30gmrisDm0lvMlaesQEFlNJmhx76vDN_cfIqG5GsofY6Iw8pdhC3r-maZ8RSfNEeH7GhvjbwTO0RvDqJ2lu3dFwhSM1GMMr-IKlvjREEECg\" alt=\"Chart titled &quot;Australian job mobility by state.&quot;\" \/><figcaption>Bar graph titled \u201cAustralian job mobility by state.\u201d With a vertical axis ranging from 0% to 15%, Indeed shows job mobility across Australian states and territories. In February 2022, job mobility was 12.8% in the ACT, compared to 8.3% in New South Wales.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Mobility tends to be highest in youth-oriented sectors, such as accommodation &amp; food services, retail trade and arts &amp; recreation. An incredible 18.6% of workers in accommodation &amp; food services changed jobs in the year ended February 2022. By contrast, mobility is lowest in agriculture, the industry with the smallest share of workers under 35. Just 5.4% of agricultural workers switched jobs during the year ended in February.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Strikingly, in February 2022, job mobility in every industry except mining was higher than a year before. The largest increase was in professional services, in which job switching jumped 4.3% percentage points. That was ahead of wholesale trade and finance, with 4.1 and 3.7 percentage point increases respectively. Mobility in the mining sector fell 0.5 percentage points.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/Jojq4i-liiGg4yCAPLwEIjWPksgMvYezMpGsIgYB29HAymRohHiJGzqNWk5Rdq8jh6xUEmuAulmj-VTm__UdB1zl4E5zCjafv5E11KEGPCkNDWkEfyaQxuV-wVbn2ze0FsaW1b2cNCNACZnK_Q\" alt=\"Chart titled Australian job mobility by industry.&quot;\" \/><figcaption>Bar graph titled \u201cAustralian job mobility by industry.\u201d With a horizontal axis ranging from 0% to 20%, Indeed shows job mobility across Australian industry groups..In February 2022, job mobility was highest in accommodation &amp; food services at 18.4% and lowest in agriculture, forestry &amp; fishing at 5.4%.&nbsp;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, job mobility is at its highest level in a decade, with increases registered in almost every state and industry group. Interestingly, mobility is still below what was considered normal throughout the 1990s and 2000s. The increase in mobility makes sense because the job market is more favourable for jobseekers than at any time since at least 2008. Jobseekers have greater bargaining power over where and how they work, and are better positioned to negotiate for higher wages and greater benefits.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Methodology<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>All posting figures in this blog post are derived from seasonally adjusted job postings.
