Default Are there still lots of jobs in Townsville?

I think I need to go to the right area. a city not too big and not too small and with lots of jobs available.

Not sure but lots of people being chucked out of work from the mining industry, imagine that would affect townsville quite hard.

Jobwebsites I guess, keeping in mind a lot of the job ads are agencies etc

"In Queensland, newspaper job ads have declined by 71 per cent from the November 2007 peak while in Western Australia the contraction has been 67 per cent over the same period," Mr Hogan said.

"Australia's two-speed economy is fast disappearing but unfortunately the convergence of state economies appears to be happening via economic weakness."
