Chief Executive and Principal Economist Brad Olsen and Principal Consultant Rob Heyes discuss how the labour market is changing as the unemployment rate rises, and fewer jobs are advertised. Their analysis examines changes in the number of jobs by industry in recent times, how different age groups are faring, and how these trends are influencing migration and migrant workforces. The latest update of our Quarterly Economic Monitor (QEM) is also now available, and Brad and Rob also give a brief outline of this update, alongside comments on the cut to the Official Cash Rate in mid-August.
