Australia's trend estimate of employment increased by 27,100 persons in August 2017, with: • the number of unemployed persons decreasing by 2,200 persons. These are the governments own words. So....Doing the math 27,100 - 2,200 = 24,900 unfilled jobs this month in Australia. Check those local help wanted ads...There must be a ton of great open positions for everything and anything you want to do!
