and now the good news about Oz...
 

For all of you who think I'm negative about this place, just thought I'd cheer up those who are shortly on their way here - it was on the news this week that the job levels have risen by their highest % since 1991 - the figure was 3 times what they were predicting... the economy is getting stronger, which is surely good news for all of you who are worried about finding employment here...

See - I CAN find good things to say about Oz!!!

P.S. I also hear that house prices in the UK are starting to fall - double good news then...

Yes right more good news , after picking though the bull .If this amounts to a boom god help us when the slow down in World Economy hits .
Australia may be a under populated Island , but its still on this planet just .

The unemployment rate remained steady at 6.2 per cent despite an estimated increase of 13,400 jobless, reflecting overall growth in the employment market, the Australian Bureau of Statistics said.

Market analysts said the survey was volatile and the months ahead would be more difficult as lower exports and drought took their toll.

However, job creation is still slower than the growth in the adult working age population, which is up 1.3 million. But an increase in the number of people opting to take retirement or going into full-time employment kept unemployment numbers steady.
