Australia Job Ads Rise for Second Straight Month
ANZ-Indeed Australian Job Ads increased by 0.2% month-over-month in January 2025, following a 0.3% gain in the previous month, marking the second consecutive month of growth. The latest figures suggested that the labor market remains resilient despite elevated borrowing costs. 'We do not foresee a significant downturn in the labor market in 2025, and we expect a gradual lift in the unemployment rate to peak at 4.3%,' said ANZ Economist Sophia Angala. According to Indeed economist Callam Pickering, reduced hiring in education and therapy roles significantly impacted job ads in January. Food preparation and service opportunities also saw a considerable decline, even after accounting for seasonal trends. "This was offset by a surge in management and administration opportunities in early 2025. Overall, hiring in most sectors has stabilized in recent months." On an annual basis, job ads fell by 15.1%, but remained 1.3% higher than their August 2024 low and 15.0% above pre-pandemic levels.
