Australian unemployment - high risk zones
http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/s...1-3102,00.html
Here is the report that was referenced:
http://www.deewr.gov.au/Employment/K...m%20070709.pdf
Nine "Local Priority Employment Areas" were originally identified:
• Canterbury Bankstown and South Western Sydney (NSW)
• Illawarra (NSW)
• Richmond Tweed and Clarence Valley (NSW)
• Mid-North Coast (NSW)
• South East Melbourne (Victoria)
• Ipswich-Logan (Queensland)
• South West Perth (Western Australia)
• Northern and Western Adelaide (South Australia), and
• Northern Tasmania.
Another 11 are added to the list in this report:
• Port Augusta-Whyalla-Port Pirie (South Australia)
• Southern Wide Bay Burnett (Queensland)
• Bundaberg-Hervey Bay (Queensland)
• North Western Melbourne (Victoria)
• Ballarat-Bendigo (Victoria)
• Central and North Western Sydney (New South Wales)
• Cairns (Queensland)
• Caboolture-Sunshine Coast (Queensland)
• Central Coast-Hunter (New South Wales)
• Townsville-Thuringowa (Queensland), and
• Central Victoria.
Definitely food for thought, for those who are considering a move to Australia within the next 12months or so.
There are now 20 high-risk zones across Australia.
"These are areas of the country where we know that workers are particularly at risk," Acting Prime Minister Julia Gillard said.

Re: Australian unemployment - high risk zones
Huge unemployment in this part of the Illawara - has been since we got here though, so no change really. Not a sniff of national stimulus money because the seat's not marginal.

Re: Australian unemployment - high risk zones
I can only comment on the Melbourne information. In both SE and NW Melbourne there are pockets of social deprivation and exclusion. This is a likely contributing factor for these areas being mentioned. and would likely show up even in better economic times.

Re: Australian unemployment - high risk zones
I would think the mention of the northern suburbs of Adelaide was because of the worldwide problems and decline in the automotive industry: it's where the Holden plant is based which is a large employer in the area. Quite a few car parts manufacturers in the area have made people redundant, and I heard Holden had reduced shifts, but they're supposed to be building the new "small" Holden there (sorry can't remember the name!) so hopefully that will give them some sort of reprieve. On the other hand, there is far more work in the northern suburbs generally than a lot of other areas of SA, so unless automotive is all you can do, hopefully things aren't quite as bleak as they're painted
