Guest The Pom Queen Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Looking for a job? If you're a cabinet maker or a kitchen hand, you might be in luck. Research from employment website SEEK shows that carpentry was the job that showed the fastest increase in demand in July, with job ads up 54 per cent. The second fastest moving job ads were for kitchen and sandwich hands, up 35 per cent, followed by air conditioning and refrigerator mechanics (up 31 per cent), financial planners (up 30 per cent) and superannuation consultants (up 29 per cent). The research comes ahead of official unemployment figures to be released today. Economists expect a rise of 10,000 in total employment for July and that unemployment will rise to 5.3 per cent, from 5.2 per cent in June. SEEK trade marketing manager Peter Osborne said July is an interesting time of the year because a lot of businesses get new budgets and projects. “It’s a really good indicator of whether their industry is going to move ahead or not so it’s usually a good sign when job ads are up,” Mr Osborne said. The fastest increasing ads were starkly different in each state, with power generation and distribution trades the fastest mover in New South Wales, up 182 per cent, compared to Victoria where ads for bakers and pastry chefs were up 111 per cent. Queensland’s fastest moving job was financial analyst, up 100 per cent, compared to South Australia where ads for plant and machinery operators were up 75 per cent and Western Australia where ads for construction quality assurance controllers were up 128 per cent. SEEK tracks job growth across 28 industries and around 400 job types.
