Cairns JobSeekers starting to edge higher

Posted on November 15, 2024 by Pete Faulkner - Cairns, Jobseeker, Uncategorized

We are finally seeing some increase in the number of JobSeekers in the Cairns region. Having sat between 15,500 and 16,000 for more than a year, the October data confirms a gradual increase having been in place in the Trend since July. Trend JobSeekers now sit at 16,399 (its highest level since Jan 2022).

We will get regional labour force data from the ABS next Thursday which will provide us with a clearer picture of the strength, or otherwise, of the Cairns labour market.
