New figures indicate a surge in the number of jobs advertised both in major metropolitan newspapers and the internet. Despite hitting a trough in August 2007, demand for labour remains very strong.
The total number of advertisements in December last year was 31% higher than 12 months ago. Internet job ads alone grew 7.4% to an average of 253,361 per week.
