The Regional Job Vacancy figures released in November showed there were more than 48,200 roles advertised across the country for the previous month.
At the RAI’s Regions Rising event in Sydney, the focus was on NSW, with the first State boasting the most professional roles.
Despite the fact that many parts of regional NSW are still enduring the worst drought in history, these new figures show that there are still plenty of work prospects.
