Well all my many friends and relatives in Australia say works still plentiful where they are, not jst as great, but still far better there than in Blighty. To be fair there are places here where unemployment is low, in these areas it's similar to Oz.

This obviously depends on the sector of work or specialised field you are looking to work in.

No dramas, just parked 400 metres down the road and walked back, logged on and went outside to visit the local cafe for coffee.
