Australian IT job market opening up
Image via WikipediaThe latest Hudson Report, which surveyed 4211 employers across 19 industries, has found IT to have one of the highest confidence levels of all industries in Australia — 7.1 per cent higher than the national average.
The report attributes these increases to ICT investment in many sectors, including government initiatives such as its Smart Grid infrastructure project and the National Broadband Network. Contradictorily, however, employer confidence within the public sector has fallen for the first time in nine months and only 19.7 per cent plan on increasing current full-time staff numbers.

100,000 new jobs in Australia
THE resources boom has helped generate more than 100,000 new jobs in the past three months.

The boom appears destined to take unemployment below 5 per cent this year.
Business took on an extraordinary 45,600 new workers last month, with the pace of recovery in employment easily outstripping the overall growth in the general working population.
Although not a record, last month's jobs growth was one of the best results in 15 years.
Much of the growth came in the resource-rich states of Western Australia and Queensland, where mining companies were reportedly delaying projects and hiring during their bitter fight with the government over the proposed resource super-profits tax.
Mining companies, including Queensland-based Xstrata Australia, have revived development plans since reaching a deal with Julia Gillard last week.
The unemployment rate is now down to 5.1 per cent, having peaked at 5.8 per cent in October last year, and is now close to the level regarded by the Treasury as full employment.
Financial markets were shocked by the strength of the jobs growth last month and have abandoned all thoughts of interest rate cuts this year, with bank economists now predicting rates are set to rise over coming months, potentially in the middle of the federal election.
"The jobs data adds weight to our forecast recovery of private demand from mid-year, and increases the chance of an RBA hike in August," UBS chief economist Scott Haslem said.
Western Australia generated half the new jobs last month and is regaining the role it had from 2005 to 2007 as the leading economic performer, with unemployment in that state now down to 4 per cent, a full percentage point drop since February.
Over the past three months, Western Australia and Queensland have led the employment growth, with more than 30,000 jobs created in each state, against just over 20,000 in NSW and Victoria.
The big eastern states are sharing the recovery, but a steady increase in the number of jobless in Tasmania shows that the pressure of a two-speed economy is beginning to re-emerge. Tasmania's unemployment rate has climbed from 5.6 per cent to 6.5 per cent since March.
However, the latest employment report from the Bureau of Statistics shows the strength of the economic recovery.
Since September last year, employers have taken on an additional 330,000 people, while the labour force has grown by only 265,000 people in that period.
The strength of the recovery is attracting ever more people to try to find work, with 65.2 per cent of the adult population now counted among the labour force, close to the record high of 65.5 per cent reached before the global financial crisis struck in late 2008.
Although the job gains last month were split evenly among both full- and part-time workers, and between men and women, the big gains since the recovery gathered steam late last year have gone to full-time workers and, predominantly, men.
The latest estimates of industry growth show that in the six months to May, construction was the biggest growth sector, boosted both by mining and the government's stimulus building programs, while transport and general service industries were also putting on more staff.
Industries depending on consumer demand, particularly retail, but also financial services, lost staff over the six months to May, with households still cautious in the wake of weak sharemarkets and rising rates.
However, the strength of employment is generating hopes that consumer spending may revive over the second half of the year. ANZ economists Riki Polygenis and Katie Dean said the income generated from additional employment would help households manage the increases in interest rates.
Wayne Swan said Australia's jobless numbers were about half the levels experienced in the US.
"While employment in other advanced economies has gone backwards dramatically, Australia has created around 350,000 jobs," the Treasurer said.
"That's 350,000 more Australians going home with a pay packet - something we can all be really proud of."
