Every month, the RAI analyses the latest jobs vacancy figures to find out what’s being advertised around the country in regional areas, the types of jobs needing to be filled and the trends that are emerging in our cities and towns.
The September figures show the vacancy figure for Regional Australia at 48,616.
Following our recent trip to Hobart for Regions Rising Tasmania, and our meeting with the Premier, The Hon. Will Hodgman, we’ve also provided the breakdown for this state. To read our media release from Tasmania, please click here.
