3 million new jobs in Australia
29 January 2016 by News Desk
Three million new jobs will be created in Australia in the next 15 years as the country moves away from traditional industries.
Changing economic demands are changing the kind of jobs people do in Australia and the country is adapting to new industries and developments in technology.
Over the past 15 years ten new jobs have been created for every one ‘old’ job lost. And the trend is set to continue as, in addition to existing traditional jobs growth fuelled by a growing population, three million ‘new’ jobs will be created by 2030.
But as old jobs make way for the new, there is no need to fear such change, according to a new report by NBN and KPMG Demographics, which predicts that five new types of jobs will replace and augment the current employment environment.
And it won’t be simply a matter of everyone making and polishing robots in future. There will be significant growth and change in existing jobs such as tech, care, professional, trade and creativity.
