Australia’s Unemployment Rate Plummets Again

Australia’s unemployment rate has dropped once more, falling 0.4 percentage points to 5.1 per cent in May 2021.

New data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) shows that approximately 115,000 Australians found work between April and May, radically lowering the unemployment rate.

Australia’s unemployment rate is now the same as it was in February 2020, just prior to the economic damage wrought by the COVID-19 pandemic with 1 million jobs created since then.

The declining unemployment rate continues to align with the strong increases in job vacancies that has rocketed Australia to become the world’s leading economy.

Australia – United Kingdom Trade Deal

A trade deal between the UK and Australia has been agreed upon.

The agreement is the first trade deal to be built from scratch since the UK left the EU which is seen as an important step towards the UK joining a wider Asia Pacific free-trade agreement.

Britons under the age of 35 will be able to travel and work in Australia more freely that also opens fantastic opportunities for British businesses and consumers, as well as young people wanting the chance to work and live on the other side of the world.

More details will follow but this is fabulous news for potential immigrants to Australia such as Working Holidaymakers, Employer Sponsors, Nominees, Skilled Visa applicants, and Business Visa applicants.

Western Australia – Powerhouse Economy

Western Australia’s unemployment rate fell for the 10th consecutive month in April 2021 to 4.9%. The number of unemployed persons fell by 2,239 (3.0%) in April 2021. Total employment actually fell by 14,434 persons (1.0%) in April 2021.

The outlook for Western Australia’s labour market remains positive. Western Australia had 26,486 internet vacancies in April 2021, still at a historically high level. However, filling all of these job vacancies will be challenging in an economy with a reduced labour supply.

Skilled Visa Invitations Rise

Our May 20th blog stated, “Australia’s Unemployment Rate Drops Again”. The results are in, and skilled visa invitations for certain occupations have increased by as much as 81%.

As the economy rebounds, Australia is starting to experience worker shortages, particularly in the Skilled Independent and Skilled Regional visa sectors.

Whilst a regional visa applicant can receive an invitation within a couple of months, a skilled visa applicant was previously waiting up to 2 years, but this is expected to reduce considerable over the next year.

Applicants who have not received an invitation may wish to assess their options as the next invitation round is expected to be in July.
