Key findings of the 2020\u00a0Australian Jobs<\/i>\u00a0report show that employment for women and young people is rebounding strongly from the economic impact of COVID-19.
\nLaunching the annual report today, Minister for Employment, Skills, Small and Family Business, Senator the Hon Michaelia Cash, said it was clear that the pandemic has radically affected Australia\u2019s labour market.
\n\u201cWe know this year has been tough for everyone, but there are promising signs of employment recovery now beginning to emerge,\u201d Minister Cash said.
\n\u201cThe\u00a0Australian Jobs<\/i>\u00a0report shows us that the labour market has, and is, undergoing significant changes, and job seekers may need to rethink training and career pathways.\u201d
\nAustralian Jobs<\/i>\u00a0is the National Skills Commission\u2019s detailed guide to the Australian labour market. It includes information about industries and occupations as well as states, territories and regions. The publication highlights trends in the Australian labour market and provides guidance about searching for a job and the skills employers value.
\n\u201cWhat really stands out in this year\u2019s report is that a large cohort of Australians will likely need to update or change their skillset to stay competitive in the labour market,\u201d Minister Cash said.
\nAustralian Jobs<\/i>\u00a0can help, providing an easy-to-read overview of industry and occupation trends in the labour market. It is designed to meet the needs of students, career advisers, people looking for work and those involved in the national employment service, jobactive.
\n\u201cThis simple to use publication is a powerful tool to help inform what training you might need as well as where the jobs are going to be, especially as Australia works through the COVID-19 recovery phase,\u201d Minister Cash said.
