Monthly Technology Market Update Perth, Western Australia, March 2020
We all know a great deal can happen in a short period of time. We are also aware of the immediate and negative impact that the Covid-19 virus has had on the broader employment market. However, we have prepared an analysis of the Western Australian IT market and particularly, where we see the opportunities presenting.
Industry Sectors Hiring – those where we expect to see a continued need for IT people
- Mining and resources
- Healthcare and associated services
- IT service providers
- Government – local, state and federal
Please see the following graph which shows broad employment trends across all job types in a variety of industry sectors. Note this is not IT specific. Whilst the broader trend is negative as you would expect, it demonstrates industries that are less impacted and therefore where we foresee opportunities in the medium term.
