The
australian Work Market:
job opportunities and conditions
The immigrants with higher possibilities of
obtaining the visas given away by the
australian Immigration Program are those
whose work skill, technical abilities and
professional profile fit the needs of work
force in the expansion economic sectors,
such as mining and energetic industries,
which cannot be covered by the
australian work market, weather with
australian citizens or foreign residents. |

The australian Immigration
Program is intended, mainly, to the
reception of skilled immigrants, meaning
professionals and / or specialized
technicians, which is why more than fifty
percent of the given visas are directed to
these type of workers, the mentioned
percentage of skilled visas, in continuously
increasing since the year 2003.
but this need for specialized work force
does not mean that anyone can access to the
australian work market, because these
same needs have turn it into a very
competitive market, which offers very good
work conditions, depending on the work
capacities of the immigrant, as well as in
the technical abilities he or she might have
and the developed professional profile. |

|
The work force requirements
in the
australian work market, depend on the
economic situation of the country, the
economic sector and in a series of
circumstances, which is why the immigrant,
before taking the decision of moving to
australia, must look for information in the
web sites that offer job positions, as well
as in the electronic editions that go out on
Wednesday and Saturday in the main
australian diaries.

It is necessary that the
immigrant also knows that
australia, been a country that respects the
worker�s civil and working rights, there are
high indexes of syndicalism in the work
market, whose are in the constant pursuit
for better economic and work conditions for
their affiliates. |

Is it also
important to know that the unemployment rate
in the period from 2003 to May of 2008, has
been considerably reduced from 6.3 % to down
to 4.4 %.
although the world crisis shows us that the
unemployment rate has been increased up to
5.7 % in May of 2009, this rate has not
increased more due to, basically, the
effects of implementing a fiscal stimulation
policy by the australian Government,
estimating that, in a short period of time,
the unemployment rate might rise up again.

a part
from the employment requirements of other
important sectors, two of the best
opportunities of laboral insertion are
linked to the australian mining and
energetic industries, which are majorly
developed in the regional states of Western
australian and South australia, as well as
in the Northern Territory, because there are
found most of the coal deposits, bauxite,
diamonds, gold, zircon, copper, iron, zinc
and uranium.
The main reason for which the mining and
energetic industries are important is
because there have been a continuous
implementation of metal extraction projects,
because of the australian natural geologic
conditions, which, at the same time, require
energy for their extraction and processing
process.
The projection growth analysis of both
industries tends to convert them in
strategic activities for the development of
the australian economy, due to the fact that
the mining is responsible of 60 % of the
exportations and, because of that, it is an
activity that generates many resources.
In the measure in which the demand of the
Chinese industry increases and the
australian government keeps giving
incentives away, the demand for skilled
staff will keep on increasing as well, which
will greatly exceed the offer of specialized
work force that exists in the
australian work market, which, at the
same time, is what forces the local and
multinational companies to look for staff in
the exterior or the country, weather through
sponsorship of highly skilled foreign
workers, as well as through capacitating and
in work experience.
The
professional immigrants with
higher chances of been inserted in the
mining and energetic industries, are
engineers with experience in the field, the
specialists in informatics services and the
Project managers with consumed experience of
having leaded other similar projects and
with a strong analytic capacity towards
business.
The importance of the mining and energetic
companies is so high, that the australian
web sites for job search such as
www.jobsearch.com.au, have special sections
in which they offer skilled jobs.
Inclusively, there is a web site named
www.miningreference.com, exclusively
intended to offer available job positions
directly in the mining industry or in linked
activities.
Some mining companies directly advertise in
their internet sites they need for skilled
staff, detailing with which kind of
experience or work knowledge they require
them. A similar situation is going on with
the companies related to the energetic
sector, mainly the petroleum one, which
additionally from needing professionals
graduated in engineering, are looking for
geologists, accountants, logistics, projects
managers, health specialists and work
safety.
Summing up, the
australian work market depends a lot on
the growth of some industries such as the
mining and energetic ones, which requires
specialized staff, that cannot be fully
covered by the local offer of specialized
work force, been forced to sponsor
immigrants.
