Sustained expansion of the Australian economy and increased retirement has resulted in a significant shortage of qualified workers needed to fill thousands of jobs in Australia.

According to Australian Jobs 2019, which was published by Australia’s government, 17 out of 19 key Aussie business sectors are forecast to create new jobs in Australia between 2019 and 2023, with half of these Aussie jobs being produced in four major industries.

The Healthcare and Social Assistance sector is predicted to produce the largest number of new jobs in Australia (250,300) in the 2019-2023 timeframe, followed by the Construction industry (118,800), Education & Training (113,000), and the Professional, Scientific and Technical sector (106,000).

Since there is an increasing demand for skilled workers, but a short supply of qualified people to fill many jobs in Australia, the economic “Law of Supply and Demand” is helping Aussie salaries to soar.

For example, the average annual salary for a full-time worker in Australia as of 2019 was around $90,000 AUD.

With wages rising, a very low unemployment rate (September 2022) of only 3.4% (the lowest in five decades), and employers hiring for nearly 500,000 Australian job openings, now is a good time for skilled foreign workers to apply for Australian immigration.
