Manufacturing and tourism sectors are struggling and shedding jobs but the mining sector and surrounding services cannot get enough workers, people are coming from everywhere even from the US, from highly skilled to kitchen hands...
Retail seams to be picking up too lately.
A bit starry eyed on this one. Look closer at the retail data - it points to slowdown behaviour. Takeway and eating our are up. Household spending down.

The mining sector just wont be able to hold up the rest of the employment needs and we all know China is slowing.

why such a small impact on such a negative number?
It takes a while for the reality to sink into the mindset of the market. There has been so much bullish activity and belief on top of the RBA stoking it by holding back with high interest rates, it's just too hard for people to shift their perceptions yet. When they do though, it will head south quite heavily and then the market will shift to a bearish bias.

The opportunity and RISK is to time this the ebbs and flows of this cycle switch right or get whacked hard. If don't have the money to loose, pull out on as many upswings as possible.

I'm short. It appears price is respecting the downtrend line.

im not convinced, should see what shes got by tonight, im chicken of that unemployment rate, any aussies in here care to tell us how there employment has been going? i heard on the news that they had to get rid of a few jobs?
I used to work mines and now i work offshore in the oil & gas industry.

The last month i have been hammered by phone calls offering me jobs. But Jan through to March everything was scarce and all the big jobs were pushed back till may/ june (construction/Major Shutdowns). I couldn't even get a look in for a little shutdown. Now there are big billion dollar projects that are taking off now all over north of Australia.

I fly out Friday to my big project that will see me out till the end of the year.

What are you guys expecting from the budget? What I mean is, all doom and gloom or some positives for the Australian economy?
