Default Latest Clarius Skills Index & Skills Shortages

National skills crisis set to re-emerge as Clarius Skills Index reports further increase in demand.

Australia’s move towards yet another national skills shortage has been confirmed in the latest Clarius Skills Index, with demand for skilled labour reporting a significant upswing.

In the March quarter, 15 of the 20 skilled occupations measured in the Index reported an increase in demand with eight of those skilled categories showing demand exceeding the available labour.

The eight categories are Building and Engineering and Computer Professionals, Building and Engineering and Chefs in the Associate Professionals category and Metal, Automotive, Wood and Hairdressers in the Tradespersons categories, which all scored above 100 in the Index.

Interesting that the draft or proposed SOL Skilled occupation List for 457 temoporary workers and skilled immigrants is not going to include chefs and hairdressers?

I always wonder with these 'skilled shortages', how much it due to 'poor' wages being offered. There was evidence in the UK that IT skills shortages were actually due to employers wanting low paid staff from outside the UK (rather than employ local people). I'm sure this rings true in the building industry at times too.

I see jobs for Senior .Net Developers paying $55k, but they can't 'find' anyone.
