And believe me, Australia became very expensive over the last few years. It is clear that the economy is slowing down here and it's becoming more and more difficult to find a job.

Apologies (sort of) to the OPs of the three threads I've merged but there's seriously no need for three threads on the same subject especially when some people post the same thing in each of them. http://britishexpats.com/forum/showthread.php?t=777266 |
Re: Australia economy/bubble/explosion/recession 'stuff'
The wife works for one of the big 4 auditors. She tells me that many of her clients are now laying people off. These are mainly high paying jobs. Even the big auditors have started cutting back and that hasn't happened since the height of the GFC.
I was also talking with a manager last week of one of Melbournes largest residential volume builders. They have cut the amount of building supervisors from 50 to 25 in the last 6 months. That's a huge cutback. |

I think this is very good advice and extremely relevant, but everyone's circumstances are different and you might not be aware of this not living here in the UK, but there has been a massive shift in millions of people's working circumstances, due to the cuts and austerity measures, which the negative effects are many and varied and no one is saying or thinking its going to be easy finding work in Australia and clearly at the moment there seems to be a slow down, but again it is far worse in the UK and that's what is great about a site like this, it gives people information about how the reality of life is in Australia and each individual will have to make their own decisions, based on what they are also experiencing in the UK. I used to say that if you have a good job in the UK your best staying put, but our jobs when we first started in them, were thought of as jobs for life, but they aren't anymore and it's a sign of the times. |

Re: Australia economy/bubble/fiscal cliff/recession 'stuff'
Any sign of that long awaited recession in Australia it's 21 years and counting of continuous growth with growth predicted again next year. Looks like a triple dip recession here in sad old Blighty, ah well.

Re: Australia economy/bubble/fiscal cliff/recession 'stuff'
well me and my friends still have good paying jobs. a new migrant friend got a job. i personally know no-one without a job. there are jobless people out there for sure but at the moment i don't know anyone in my circle of friends and acquaintances. in fact the previously unemployed are now employed full time.

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. |

Re: Australia economy/bubble/fiscal cliff/recession 'stuff'
... Caveat ...
This obviously depends on the sector of work or specialised field you are looking to work in.

How do they know? Are they looking for work in both countries? That's the only way they could possibly say. Having been unemployed for 18 months, I can tell you jobs are fairly thin on the ground. (In my very personal, on the ground, experience of course).
