Recently the economic downturn has eased and annual employment growth has started to rise;
Compared with the 1990’s recession, the effect on employment has not been as severe; and
The labour market is now showing signs of recovery.

Most noticeable is that Manufacturing now accounts for a smaller proportion of total employment in Australia (9% in August 2010 compared with 12% in August 2000).
In contrast, employment in the Health Care and Social Assistance industry has increased (11% in August 2010 compared with 9% in August 2000).

Education and Labour Market Outcomes Source: ABS, 2006 Census of Population and Housing
There is a strong relationship between educational attainment and employment outcomes. For those of working age (15-64) who did not complete year 12 in the Hunter (including Newcastle) and Gosford-Wyong area, the unemployment rate was 11% at the time of the 2006 Census, while for those who had a Bachelor degree or higher, the unemployment rate was 2%.
While it would be unrealistic for many jobseekers to complete a Bachelor degree, further training such as apprenticeships and other Certificate training could improve job seekers’ engagement in the labour force. The unemployment rate for people who completed a Certificate level qualification was 5% compared with 11% for those who did not complete year 12. In addition, the participation rate was 84% for those who completed a Certificate level qualification compared with 60% for those who did not complete year 12.
Around three quarters of future jobs growth is expected to be in jobs which require education and training (DEEWR, New Jobs – Employment trends and prospects for Australian industries, November 2008) – this is a global trend.

The ageing of the workforce is evident in Vocational Education Teachers. The median age of this occupation is 48 years compared with 39 years for all occupations. Compared with all occupations, the age profile of Vocational Education Teachers is skewed towards workers aged 45 years and over (61.9 per cent compared with 38.5 per cent for all occupations). By contrast, the share of workers aged 15-19, 20-24, and 25-34, is below the average for all occupations (14.0 per cent compared with 38.5 per cent).

Basic Employability Skills Source: DEEWR, Survey of Employers’ Recruitment Experiences, Hunter – Central Coast, July 2010
Employers in the Hunter – Central Coast area were asked when recruiting,
whether they placed more importance on the applicant’s personal traits and
qualities or on their technical skills and experience.
38% of employers surveyed in the Hunter – Central Coast area thought that both
technical skills and experience and basic employability skills (such as personal
traits and qualities) were equally important. A further 32% of employers
considered personal traits and qualities were more important whilst 29% rated
technical skill and experience as more important.
These survey results indicate that in today’s labour market, jobs seekers need to
have both technical or job-specific skills and employability skills.
