š¢ A couple of weeks ago I ran a poll asking where folks thought the job market was heading in NZ and Australia for the rest of 2025.
š” Turns out, 29% of you were feeling optimistic. Only 24% saw it getting worse. The rest? Sitting on the fence. Well, the optimists might be onto something (and yes, maybe buy that Lotto ticket this weekend):
š Job ads on SEEK are up 16% in NZ
š ...and up a whopping 22% in Australia ā just in the last 4 weeks.
ā A bit of a blip? Maybe. But after months of bad news, Iāll take it.
š Enjoy the weekend!
