What it does
Jobs and Skills Australia publishes occupation, industry and regional labour-market information. Its public resources include employment projections, occupation profiles, a shortage list and the Jobs and Skills Atlas.
Use occupation evidence to frame a career question before collecting vacancies. The occupation and industry profiles provide a different view from a job advert, while the Atlas brings datasets together at national, state and regional levels. A comparison between regions can be useful when you are considering where to look for work.
The shortage list and employment projections answer different questions, so read the relevant definitions and period rather than treating either as a promise of a job. Research publications provide further context on skills and career movement. This is a labour-market information resource, so use a vacancy service separately when you are ready to identify an employer and apply.
