She's reluctant to use the word "empire" — but when it comes to business, Kerrieanne Nichols is a force to be reckoned with in Dubbo, in NSW's Central West.All up, she has around 50 staff."We're looking for four chefs [and] need up to probably another three housekeeping team," she said.
She had to let go of some of her staff and close one of her cafes. But as things have started to recover, workers have been tough to find.And with school holidays starting next week in NSW, she's worried."We just won't have [the people] to be able to cope with the numbers visiting Dubbo."For some parts of regional Australia, filling jobs is a persistent problem. COVID-19 or not.
The RAI uses Federal Government figures that track "internet vacancies" for job openings posted online by employers.That was 14 per cent more vacancies than in July. And according to the data, in some regions there are actually more job vacancies posted now than there were before the COVID-19 economic slowdown.
If not job-seeker workers, why not use some ADF workers? Farmers could contribute to the Govt for their costs.
How about using people that are currently in prisons to work in these areas
Not hard to see how many myths there are about regional areas. Regional living offers a diverse range of jobs from skilled - unskilled, affordable lifestyle + more benefits & opportunities than city living can ever offer. I know very few who've made the move & regretted it.
I could work a 9-5 in orange but it would mean I had to spend my weekends travelling to and from home to spend one night in my own bed, so I'd have to pay for accomodation there, or pay near $600pw for two flights. Oh, people should just move? Yeah. Right.
Really tricky tough situation for Australia. Our family run farms in Bundaberg, the crops are being distroyed as no one to harvest them. People are moving there for the lifestyle not work. Now Prime Crop Lands being sold for housing developments, we're losing farms as No workers.
Now publish the name of every employer or govie 'approved' 'job provider' who have offered to pay for families to relocate their lives for these 45 thousand permanent fulltime jobs, I'll wait. Centrelink APM_Au stuartrobertmp MAXsolutionsau SarinaRusso propaganda
Where did you get this figure from? The article doesn’t really address this. And now it’s being used as fact.
The story of the electrician says it all. Good pay in this case but long hours and temporary, missing his child & friends. High personal cost for short term gain.
Give me citizenship, I willing to go
For years these fruit ,grain and stock cockies abused every worker's rights which was written into Australian Law They treated workers liked they treated their stock , inhumane, cruel and sadistic, In fact sometimes the animals were slightly treated better
1/2 . you may be ‘factually’ correct, but the reporting in this article is misleading. -Regional Aus=7mill sq/km -45,000 jobs=1 per 156 sq/km -Many jobs require qualifications ppl in area don’t have -Many can’t move; cost & time to move, breaking lease...
Talk is cheap, list them now, where, permanency, you demoralise people and waste their time making statements like this that are not factual. It is who you know are you a minority with funding not for the mainstream trying to have a go
1) How is someone supposed to afford to move if they're on Centrelink getting below poverty line money 2) she is talking part time jobs as a barista. Doesn't make much sense.
Working 76 hours a week? That’s crazy. (and should be 2 people’s jobs.)
Evidence lacking to support this government propaganda
The problem with regional work is it last several weeks and than its gone. you cant relocate for insecurity. Fix that, so that they are proper full time jobs and people will come, than the economy gets a proper boost.
Why publish the vacancies in the regions, but not the number of jobseekers in the regions? Why not breakdown the data by jobs requiring qualifications/specialist skills vs not? It's almost like this article exists primarily to push a specific narrative...
What a load of tripe! Seriously ABC are you a current affair now?
This is an overly simplistic take and therefore inaccurate lacking in actual context
Smells like cow poo to me 12 unemployed peeps for each job
BULLSHIT!
FFS why are you regurgitating this meaningless TRIPE?
Let's have mjrowland68 hit the pavement and chase down and shame an unemployed and unsuspecting single mother in Dandenong. That'll fix the economy.
Check out this job, 4 hrs a week under $100 pay. Check out what is required to be done in that 4 hours.
Previous abuse of casualisation of the workforce is now coming back to bite business (& Govt) in the butt.
I'm calling BS on that Youth unemployment is high outside of cities These employers expect pre trained employees or slave wage farm workers
List of databases for finding jobs? Conditions, wages?
What all picking strawberries?
Fruit picking in this country isn't a job! It's slave labour!
Simple fact! One job for every 12 unemployed. Of course, this is the average. The situation for the unemployed in regional & rural areas is much more dire. Another simple & sad fact, affects on individual's mental health has/& continues to be, devastating. 😥
Um . . . maybe because they have kids in school, a house, commitments. Most people can't just uproot - esp in a recession when they owe more to the bank and the ATO than their home is worth.
Why do I get the feeling that 'if people were to move regional, it would give us a higher skill set' means more white people? 🤔 If you don't have enough skilled people in your town, pay to train the ones that are already there.
Well why aren't rural people taking those jobs? I thought jobs were hard to come by in rural/regional areas? Why the fuck are they targeting city people? I'm not leaving here for a fucking minumum wage job. JFC. 🤦♀️
I call bullshit.
Dear ABC editorial staff, this tweet is politically loaded attack on unemployed people who won't ditch everything & drag their families to the regions. It only fuels 'lazy dole-bludger' rhetoric. Please be sensitive of the messages you send about families trying to survive.
The law of the market says if you have food and beverage cornered in a regional city and you can't find workers you should pay more, or offer better conditions.
Is there the infrastructure and resources to cope with a huge influx of job migrants in the regions? Ricky has left his child to do this, but many don't have the support network to do it. So many questions.
Supposedly
proof? i'm sure there are more that the amount already living in the regions...more bullshit from Ita
Are these jobs advertised with clear descriptions of their pay and conditions? If not stop spreading bullshit propaganda
Well I fact checked this with seek and I regional nsw looking for labourer work you are lucky to find 3 jobs in Dubbo
The ABC is full of bourgeois parasites who owe their life to the tax payer & nepotism that got them their position to shit on the poor in the first place
How many unemployed in regional areas? Why aren’t they filling these alleged ‘vacancies’? How many of these jobs are paying minimum wage & above vs those that are essentially illegal below min wage? Do so damn analysis before posting this shitfluff piece! ThisIsNotJournalism
Cost of moving? Conditions in the region vs metro areas? Conditions and security of jobs? I notice you don't mention those factors just 'there are jobs and people won't take them!'
Yeah cool are the people who are advertising the jobs going to pay for the successful applicant to move from the city
Just a tad simplified....Which sectors are the jobs in? Are they seasonal? What do they pay? What are fringe benefits? Then.....what are living costs (especially housing) relative to incomes? What are the school choices, public transport options, local amenities....?
Maybe Norman and Lucy can go pick strawberries if they’re in the next round of the decimating of the ABC?
Such stories blissfully ignore the costs of moving from city to region, the lack of and costs of accommodation in rural and regional Australia, the costs of temporary housing and the impermanency of the roles on offer. But hey, it makes an easy headline.
This is pathetic propaganda.
They'd probably have a bit more luck if unemployed people could be sure they'd be properly paid and wouldn't be sexually assaulted, and if they offered to help with relocation costs.
Article on msn this morning telling us people from Vanuatu are happy to have completed their 2 wk iso because now they can pick mangoes in the NT for the grand total of $25.00 a day. Why would an unemployed person do it?
“There has been speculation that the amounts paid under JobKeeper and JobSeeker could be discouraging people from looking for jobs”. Speculate off , there is ZERO evidence to support this typical LNP bootstrapper ideology. shameful NoEvidence
ABC, helping the LNP spread more of their bullshit lies. 45k jobs BS available my ass.
The headline 🥴 seriously... how on earth do you expect someone struggling to pay rent to cover moving expenses to relocate ?... ABC The Bin . ThisIsNotJournalism Propaganda
Bull Shit
Where's that 'magic hand' of the market Neoliberals are always talking about? Surely if the jobs are in places people want to live, and offer a decent rate of pay, they'll be filled.
Fact check!
No one? Really? Not one?
TimEtherington2 I hear the ABC is looking for journalists with integrity and struggling to fill those roles as well.
If you move to an area of lower unemployment, you get your Jobseeker cut for 6 months. Unless the job is *secure* & enough to entirely replace Jobkeeper, you can't take these jobs. And you are starving to survive & can't afford to pull up stumps in the first place.
Is the average wage on par to the $3000 a week Littleprouds Strawberry wage? If there are vacancies in rural areas, train up the 145'000 unemployed people already living in those areas Headline Not Enough Housing in Rural Australia for the employed already living there
Bullshit! How many of those jobs are long term reasonably paid work. Usual whinging from ra ra land. Come on Aunty you can do better than this tripe.
Utter bullshit
Has ANYONE priced Accomodations in these Regions ? My understanding - is, that Even IF you can find somewhere to Rent it's BIG 💰💰💰💰💰
Fact check?
the regions are equal opportunity exploiters.
Ah yes... this worked well.. Reasons why it didn’t work are included. Mostly PRIVATISATION.
Now publish the name of every private enterprise or state or federal govie department or govie 'approved' job provider who have offered to pay for families to relocate their lives, I'll wait. Centrelink scottmorrisonmp stuartrobertmp
Ok ABC I need proof. Where is the proof ? Or are you now officially the LNP propaganda station.
Will Scotty pay the moving costs ?
Why is the choice 'starve' or 'work 76 hour-weeks leaving your 6yo daughter 350km away'
Again pushing an “undeserving poor are turning down jobs” narrative giving political cover to welfare cuts. There are 2.4 million un- & underemployed people in Aus. If all 45,000 were filled by someone willing to completely uproot their life that wouldn’t even change the .4 part.
where - show the list me call liar. and yes I live in the regions
I’m a big advocate for moving to regions. I moved to a regional area myself for work & lifestyle. But I wonder how sustainable some of these jobs are? Transport & accommodation costs to somewhere like Dubbo for seasonal work could be costly. Expenses might be more than the pay.
So when you say 45,000 do you really mean 112?
Talk to Rob Oakshot and get the facts on employment in our region, he’ll probably have stats too.
What hours and hourly rates. Facts please, not feelpinions.
Some questions, are they permanent to justify the expense of moving? Is there accommodation available and at what cost. Is it piece work or paid by the hr? Why is there a drift of population to metro areas? Uprooting you’re family, leaving friends and connections is not easy.
Every person involved in this article should be made to sell up, leave their families and most to a region in another state.
Rubbish
This is probably the dumbest article I've read. No one is going to pack up their home and move to Dubbo to get minimum wage serving coffees. The cost far outweighs the so called rewards.
There are plenty of $100 dollar a day jobs for people willing to spend $150 a day to get there.
Showing us the jobs, hrs, wages and conditions would be helpful.....
Really? I live in a rural area. These jobs are invisible
Yeah leave your family and friends and go pick oranges for $8/hr you whinging babies
The article states, in regard to one region: 'JobSeeker and the Coronavirus Supplement amount to 73 per cent of the median income.' The report this is linked to is from April, when the Coronavirus Supplement doubled JobSeeker. It is no longer accurate for the $250 splmt.
Casual short term jobs. What do you do with your children and your aging parents in the meantime?
Do u ever do any fact checking or research or are u spoon fed thus IPA propaganda?
This kind of reporting is lazy and biased and we should be able to expect better from the ABC (but we don’t)
case study is a cafe owner- why aren’t locals applying? Pay, conditions? Uprooting life huge expense for less public transport/amenities, no support structure, for the POSSIBILITY of casual cafe work isnt impractical, it’s impossible, unemployed don’t have that kind of mobility
“No one wants to come” this guy had money to leave his wife and daughter behind to relocate. Not everyone has that, it’s not a matter of refusing to relocate, it’s having the resources to, for jobs that are not specified as having enough hours to justify relocating
Soo how do people living below the poverty line pack up their lives and move miles away from all that is familiar and supportive
As an exchef this isn't reflective of all markets. I hadn't had a pay increase between 2009 and 18. Prices for food have stayed mostly locked since then, longer hours, many of us quitting due to crappy system in Australia. So yes there's lots of chef jobs.
Too many drugs. Too much alcohol and violence. Too much racism. Not enough accommodation. Not enough diversity. Not safe for kids.
There is nothing mentioned here that isn't service or maintenance and I would bet it's all casual. Not sure why you publish this kind of nonsense? It's misleading, makes all kinds of assumptions and is troll fodder.
And not one journalist seems to wonder why this is the case. A little thing like wages, conditions, exploitation and wage theft? Is that why they prefer foreign workers that wont complain? Maybe its time to look in the mirror. Anyone thought of that? Anyone?
Let's see/list these jobs...? Name the country towns, people could move to...? Show the unemployment Rate in each of these towns...? Should be ZERO...?
If it's like it was when we were there...underpaid with 'real' locals looking down their noses at us, I'm not surprised.
When they say they can't find employees what they mean is they can't find employees they like. Stop being so picky. I bet these jobs get hundreds of applicants.
Now publish the jobs amd JDF's - are they permanent, full time, part time or the usual casual rort? Are these jobs suitable for 55 year old women? Publish pay rates, family housing available in *every* region, rent and food prices for families - go on I dare you. propaganda
What a ridiculous 'story'. This article uses anecdotal evidence and government's rubbery employment statistics based on zero hours employment. There may be plenty of fruit picking jobs for a few dollars an hour, but real permanent jobs are not plentiful. This is garbage abc
This is pure propaganda and you should be ashamed of yourselves.
Leaving your generational home, family, friends and lives in general to seek insecure work... I just don’t know why there isn’t a stampede.
Weren't we told everyone was moving to the regions?
Can I have your job
Dubbo needs to look a bit harder, lots of locals there in need of a job...
Are those jobs like the $3000 per week fruit picking jobs?
I've seen multiple times the same job advertised more than once, and by more than the one talent agency, and in a very narrow field of employment in Adelaide. That makes for shitty data unless someone were to check for duplications.
Redeploy asylum seekers from off sure detention to regions requiring labour. If organised properly could solve cost of off shore detention & earn $ for the workers, farmers & govt. would need to be humanitarian & not morph into a chain gang situation, just a thought🤔
Well, you have to have transport and a place to stay. Are we back to depression era waltzing matildas?

I am in my sixties am I expected to leave a place where I can see my GP (or a dentist) within a week, have all the services I need with in easy reach to go to a shithole where I have to wait a month to see a doctor and have to travel to Sydney for any major service?
IF any of this is true then the wages are too low, not Jobseeker too high. And what the hell are these wildly expensive job matching services for if they can’t sort the problem? CES would have strategies for this but you broke it up and sold it off. AuspolSoCorrupt
We can’t leave Melbourne..
Not want to - will be underpaid and make no net gain you mean.
The unemployed rarely have the $ and/or ability to relocate across state for a part-time casual job on minimum wages - when these people pop up to say they can’t fill their vacancies I can guarantee there is a reason...
bullship
Cost?
These numbers are made up. What the hell is wrong with you abc... Hacks
Bullshit
These are for skilled jobs. There’s also high youth unemployment in the regions, little ability to train (thanks to trashed TAFE) + very few apprenticeships or entry level vacancies unemployment auspol
Perhaps if we still had a 'Commonwealth Employment Office' strategies could be formulated to fix the problem.
There's a big difference between a job and a career. Plenty of people will risk a huge move for the chance at a career. Not many will do the same for some casual job in a country pub or cafe where they get minimum wage and still need government support just to pay the rent.
ThisIsNotJournalism
Some reasons people don't move to regions to take these jobs are: - high cost of moving - temp. or casual nature of jobs - spec quals needed (e.g., engineering) - isolation - high cost of living in remote areas. How about you report on these issues, ABC?
Your evidence comes from where ? Contradictory comments , well worn furphies . 🙄
Remembering hospo jobs are casual. Cant move to regional area away from all supports for insecure income.
FFS, even your poster boy, hi vis salt of the earth working man example says he wouldn't move permanently because of distance from family. Be better, ABC. Every single one of the jobs referred to in this article would be casual or contract.
How many of those job vacancies are permanent full time positions? Only local people can afford to take on multiple part time positions mostly in hospitality. Living in regional areas is costly with less medical options.
Poor, if not misleading, work from NormanHermant. 45000 sounds like a big number. A typical regional electorate has 100000 voters in it. 10% unemployment 45000 jobs is not even enough to absorb the unemployed of 5 regional electorates, let alone absorbing ppl from the city.
This is getting sad. The LNP don't want you to sit with them, they're not impressed. Stop being wimps.
I live in one of those regions. Let me tell you, Seek is full, literally full of casual and contract positions. Not something I'd up and move for.
I can go, txt me pls
“Good jobs”. I’ll just uproot my whole life and leave my friends and family behind to go be a barista in Dubbo, then. I’m sure that’ll be a job for life that’ll definitely provide shelter, clothing, food and fulfilment. Please stop writing this garbage.
I don't wish unemployment on anyone, but do think the authors of the article cld learn a lot from suffering unemployment & grow as people. Their hatred of the poor & eagerness to sell their journalistic integrity to write partisan articles in support of the LNP is disappointing
Bullshit!
Because those without jobs are just rolling in money to move house and leave their family and lives overnight...
There's 20000 ex qanus employees who lost their jobs at the start of the covid pandemic. Is that who you are talking about? Bloody lazy air hostesses!
Because it costs a bomb to relocate, most are seasonal, and no-one has the money to move. Are you people stupid?
I don’t know why people are asking whether these jobs are full-time permanent jobs. So the only jobs which are worth working for are highly paid full time jobs now? Otherwise it is better to just do nothing and be on welfare?
this article is for me the last straw. For DECADES I watched you as my main news source. Stopped that last year when it was clear you were running propaganda for the LNP. You are betraying us all by softening us up to justify LNP's social security cuts. Traitors!
Perhaps Dubbo needs to put package together to attract and support tree changers; info or contacts for accommodation, info on local facilities, education, recreation Youre asking people to leave the known Offer a day trip to show what you have in coop with job services providers
Do you have a list of all 45000 jobs please? Thanks. auspol MSM
Why doesn't she reemploy the people she laid off because of covid-19?
Are these long term full time jobs or seasonal casual/ part time jobs?
620 listed in goldfields region Victoria. Mostly casual, part time. That's it.
Nothing but more LNP spin spewing from the desks of the fiction writers at the ABC. I fought to protect the ABC and now im regretting it. I hate that my tax payer money goes to fund a right wing, LNP mouth piece who doesnt care about facts. The ABC has died.
That headline is misleading and designed to demonise the unemployed. If there are so many jobs, regional young people would not have so much trouble getting one.
Nothing about 13 jobseekers for every vacancy. No mention that Melbourne is in lockdown, so accessing the regions or interstate isn’t practical right now No mention of the way we treated foreign students, telling them to go home rather than support them ThisIsNotJournalism
I love how these articles never talk about the percentage of skilled work. The fact it costs a shitload to move and that when you go regional you are potentially living somewhere w less public services, schooling options and health supports.
Unemployment is Highest in Regional Australia so why aren’t Businesses employing Locals?
Why would the Australian people want to work when the LNP give their tax dollars away?
“She had to let go of some of her staff”. There’s your answer in a nutshell. No job security is hardly an incentive to up and move long distances to follow the whims of business owners.
Do some actual investigative journalism ABC. Of those 45,000 jobs, how many would cover the cost of rent and basic living expenses each week? Are the positions permanent or casual?
What does Ricky Banks do in four months?
Terrible victim blaming headline ABC. Perhaps a lede on how/why relocating is challenging. Speaking as someone who has recently lost their job (and as a taxpayer, I say pls do news without the bias, thanks)
Bullshit. I've lived in regional towns for decades. Name the jobs pet
Yeah for a maybe job? An hour or so here & there? Perhaps some more of those $3000/week strawberry picking jobs? As national broadcaster it would behove you to tell all the story, not spin it as LNP propaganda
I'll go. I'm old, crippled and have no marketable skills. But I'll go.
There would be a shitload of jobs in the cities if 457 ( Or whatever it is now ) didn't take them, last i heard there were 2 million or 200k of those workers?
There are a LOT of stories out there of backpackers being underpaid and sexually harassed. Migrants sleeping rough or on top of each other because they couldn't get JobKeeper. American slavery was about this kind of field work too. This industry has a MASSIVE image problem.
A simple call to the Job Network providers in Dubbo would have exposed these business owners as Liberal party hacks. They're trying to make the JobSeeker rate cut work you know. This sort of false rubbish is how QAnon keeps going.
Show me 4000 for a start!
The ABC 🤝 regional casual wages $0.04 a day
Over a million people unemployed and none are willing and/or able to fill these jobs. That says a lot more about the jobs than the people. Stop trying to shame people into slavery-like conditions. You're supposed to be the national broadcaster, for the people.
If these employers are legit & unproblematic, why hasn't interviewed *verified* former employees to find out why they prefer living below the poverty line & being harassed by predatory job agencies to working in these supposedly wonderful jobs?
JobKeeper is set at the minimum wage; if businesses can’t compete they’re not paying min wage.... isn’t that some sort of crime?
I guess when business's cut loose most of their staff it was not 'considered' that maybe if we get with program that this would be temporary? I guess those workers had to move on...what to I have no idea But now business owners screaming for staff. ABC you are seemingly more MSM
Gonna uproot my entire life for a bunch of part time-seasonal work. Ha, joke
What this article highlights is that jobs were cut everywhere because of Covid. Until we have a vaccine or treatment people won’t want to work in these roles. Also it tells me not to bother travelling around NSW as there won’t be enough staff to maintain cleanliness / service!
I caution my kids about the use of *always*, *never*, *everyone*, and *no-one* because absolute statements are rarely ever correct and, worse, obfuscate the true and often complex underlying reality. I offer this unsolicited advice to you too, ABC.
Impossible to understand why UNEMPLOYMENT is so high in regional areas then 🤔 Have you looked into that?
Surprised people aren't selling up and moving to Dubbo to become a barista? I'm not. 🤣 Get real.
Anyone read my article on theAIMN website yesterday? 23-1. That is a federal opposition-cited ratio of applicants per job in the regions, from an MP who hails from regional Victoria.
This is a BS story ABC.
Farm work doesn't pay what they say . The wages and piece work has not changed for over 10 years ,the wages are disgustingly low and yes they pay cash or want ABN workers to avoid super and work cover.Casual work should be band and wages minimum wages should be reviewed.

Perhaps, under the circumstances, govt could top up the wages offered by regional employers. The work would get done and the folk going out there to do the work would earn more. Kinda like a bit of good old fashioned industry protection.
People are so lazy. Not willing to drive 5 hours a day to and from their low paid work hundreds of kilometres from where they live. Kill the poor!
bull shit.
Bullshit
Will someone pay the relocation costs for poor unemployed people to get out to the country? They've been subsisting on sub-poverty level incomes. It's not like they have a lazy couple of grand lying around. Would they even have a car? very simplistic analysis. auspol
Gosh, I remember the days when these sorts of beat ups were only by Murdoch media. Hard to tell the difference between ABC and Murdoch trash now.
Same reason that there’s ghost towns of sky scrapers. People want to be around people. Have a strong port and you’ve got yourself a reason to make a sea change.
More publicly funded LNPCrimeFamily propaganda?
this reporting is absolute trash. Tie it around your fingers and stick it up your backside where it belongs.
Maybe she could employ some apprentices.
'JobSeeker and the Coronavirus Supplement amount to 73 per cent of the median income' FactCheck yourselves please...
I relocated to a regional town. Lasted 18 months. Work was piecemeal and low paid. Costs of living were the same. Lower rent offset by higher fuel and food prices. I supplemented my income with credit cards. Once the Balance hit $20k I moved back to Melbourne and got a real job.
Move to the country and experience bigotry misogyny and racism¯\\_(ツ)_/¯GFY ‼️
Once upon a time I expected better from the ABC than a shallow take such as this.
Why should people relocate to regional areas for 'work'? As soon as the covid 19 measures are phased out those who relocated will have to pay to re-relocate.
Low pay and the politics of the 1950's.
What a load of crap.
Do they have 100% employment there? You should look at why they don't employ locals.
Maybe they should pay properly & offer the infrastructure & supports that urban areas do. We’ve had since the industrial revolution to figure this shit out.
I'm disappointed, ABC. Shoddy reporting. Thought this was a Murdoch headline.

NormanHermant I looked up job ads for Dubbo, last 14 days Jora: 1 seasonal cook Seek: 1 PT cook, 1 casual wait staff Are they advertising in the local papers and wondering why they can't get people from the city to apply? Who will move to Dubbo for casual work? AusUnemployment

Do better ABC
ABC/LNP and only rubbish journalism left!!
Pretty sure the unemployment rate, especially youth, is much higher in this regional NSW city than where you're suggesting people move from
This is crap, the ABC just repeats the BS of big business. Tell this women to give her workers a secure job & pay a living wage, then I am sure she can find good workers auspol
The bosses are being too fussy. I’ve put forward many names to my current employer of men unemployed. The bosses are too picky
Can the ABC or the regional institute categorise what these 45, 000 jobs are. Is it fruit picking, hospitality, mining, agricultural, hospital/medical or trade jobs. Expectations that it’ll lead to a career change is not the solution- taper job-keeper.
Crap! 45,000 jobs? FFS. What cloud did you pull that number from?
There are 15,000 towns in regional Australia. So move to a regional town and have a choice between.... three whole jobs! Great! Except for the ones in Dubbo, which seem to be only for school holidays.
Where are such vacancies, those ought to be published. Why aren't they being published and made known to local populations? There are unemployed in regions. Vacancies in those areas ought to be accessible. If training's an issue then business ought to train people on the job.
I would be there tomorrow if only they would give us U.K. silver surfers a visa like the backpackers get. Think out of the box ScoMo that’s what good leaders do...
Covid19 caused chaos in our societies because we still use ideologies and methods that are outdated, divisive, wasteful & destructive etc. Even before Covid19 we weren't doing things in the best ways BECAUSE of our outdated ideologies. Automation, Robotics should be used.
In Cairns ICT service providers are after work permit visa holders they can manipulate and pay under award .....
Also I grew up in regional NSW, Walgett, Cootamundra etc and am more than prepared to relocate there - the jobs on offer I see casuslised contract and well off the going pay rates
That is a load of rubbish I search seek at least twice weekly in regional NSW and QLD and none are advertised
They are in lock down.
With regional areas being stiffed on funds for basic services like medical and education is it any wonder people don't want to take their families to those places? Suicide rates in those areas are high for a reason.
So the case has been made (several days after lockdown) that people don't want to work. Next quickly open up 457 and 458 visas so corporate farms don't have to pay market rates and keep wages low This is the play for the next month or so Instead of employers competing for workers
wow ABC i thought you were for the people guess you really dont have any idea
Because job seeker pay is higher thsn these pay. They rather staying home and get the job seeker
Good. No loss.
How about interviewing some unemployed people for once
Piss off unless i can make life there with my family. I'm all for the theory but playing the lnp game is silly. If you exploit and under serve an area for decades of course people don't want to move there.
Yep....can't find anyone who will work for $18 an hour in the middle of nowhere cleaning other people's shit off toilets........

Jobseeker till I dizz’i... or until they cut it
I love rural living but I would be worried about taking kids there and ice.
Wow! 45,000 full time permanent jobs! Nope. 45,000 low paid, casual jobs with a few hours a week (if you're lucky). ABC, this is terrible journalism. Did you ask Ms Nichols for job details? Pay, hours, perm, P/T or Casual? How much to rent in town? Seriously
Genuine question: Why isn't anybody jumping at the chance of 'working 76 hours a week' and 'leaving his six-year-old daughter behind' to live 'about 50km from Dubbo' for an unknown salary? Anyone? Yeah it's a toughie 🤷
Because farmers pay $2.50 an hour making workers live in squalid conditions under under constant threat.
How many of these jobs are full time permanent positions? What is defined as a job opportunity? If it’s 20 hrs a week behind a coffee machine it’s hardly worth it.owned a cafe in rural SA for several years wouldn’t recommend unless you really want to be there.
Did the Woman in the story try to re-hire those staff she let go or just say meh & wants new fresh faces?
Name your sources. Show particulars. Not credible.
List the vacancies alongside pay & conditions. We dare you.
L. A. Z. Y. People here I’d say
This an appalling article. “Speculation?” How about go do some journalism and find out for yourself?
There's 1 rental property under $250/week. This article doesn't talk about housing, availability of transport, infrastructure, cost of living, how secure the work is, access to childcare ...
How many cafe jobs are permanent full time? Can’t get a mortgage being under employed. I’d love a genuine breakdown of what these jobs are, the pay/hours. Wouldn’t be surprised if many are fruit picking or abattoir work.
Give it a rest. Mutual obligations return on Monday. People will be forced to look for work. Whether they want to just pick up and go to a new location is up to them. If the government starts forcing this then I’m holding you and the rest of the media responsible.
Are people going to uproot the little stability they have amid such uncertainty? Doubtful. And unnecessary to expect them to in the short term.
So Jobkeeper pays 98% of the MEDIAN wage in the area. Whats the median rental and house prices? Looks like you want people to relocate to a splat of 40k in the middle of nowhere so they can earn a pittance? If you pay them, they will come...
Can't get a house ...
It's too easy to sit on your ass and get the dole especially if you are an immigrant. Just go to Sydney and walk the streets in mostly Muslim communities and see how many people are just hanging around doing nothing but breeding.
'For him, the hardest part was leaving his six-year-old daughter behind. She's still in Canberra with his former partner.' Well fuck, can't imagine why a lot of people don't do it
Do your goddamn job talk to local jobseekers & find out why locals aren't taking those positions. Here's a thread on a job in Nowra & the real reasons he's having trouble filling it
I'll be there...but some scientific illiterate has locked me in the city.
I can't afford to relocate to a remote area unless the pay is sufficient to cover the increased costs inherent to such a move.
how much money would you have to have to move your family to a regional area, then move back once it's done...any guesses
Dr. Li-Meng Yan claims the coronavirus was developed in a government lab in Wuhan with the knowledge of the Chinese government.
Many regional towns almost or entirely ran out of water during the most recent drought. Many ppl living on a few litres of water/p day. Understandably ppl would be hesitant to move to these locations. Jobs in the regions will only exist long term if water security is addressed.
Like i said before you deleted, propaganda
No one wants to work for a dollar a day.
Most jobs need experience. Maybe they should give people are go, pay good wages and provide a supportive work place. Advertise those things.
Have they thought about paying people more? No? I guess there will continue to be 45k vacancies then
How can Melbourne people work when they are under house arrest........Guarded by Chairman's Dans Socialist army.
Leave your family? Can’t find affordable rentals? People treat you like s..t.... 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Because the Fed govt has created socialism overnight by doubling job seeker
There is a reason the jobs remain vacant. Journalism would be getting to the truth behind those reasons, anything less just feeds the horrible narrative that people don't want to work.
Any going for protesters? That’ll get he young out there.
So they began businesses in areas that can't support their businesses...
Christmas and Manus Islands have some people keen to work.
Surprising no one's willing to work in the regions when u can earn $3800/week picking fruit. Oh wait. That's a lie. You can't. Yet employers still whinge coz people won't pack up their lives for shitty minimum hourly rate jobs for a few hours/week with no ongoing security. 🙄
Will be interesting to see what happens come the end of December and March with jobseeker/keeper? There is a 'other side' to any type of pandemic.. time to get out and earn a bit i reckon! 💵
many factors involved ie. housing, transport, family etc. If you benefit from government corrupt to the tune of millions sure it's easy to pack up and relocate, different story if you're broke! Thanks for dog whistling for the gov. with your dole bludging propaganda.
Bullshit!
To be fair, Melbournites can't
Who's going to uproot their life & move to Dubbo on the offchance they will get a job in a cafe? What's she offering to make it worth doing?
Lazy young people
Why would anyone want to work picking fruit in back breaking conditions for rubbish pay?
kuku27 Question of suitability, if IT person is offered cobblers job, who will accept it
This is bullshit. If no one wants the work it's because the pay is too low. Pay more.
Yes but there aren't 45,000 affordable houses.
Where did you dig that tripe from
We simply must import a zillion people to make up the shortfall etc. We see you
Stop writing this fucking garbage
It would not make sense to move regional for a bar/coffee shop job sadly...
😂😂🤣
Third time I’ve seen a version of this propaganda ABC what’s going on?
Most people would not know about these jobs. Bring back the CES.
Cut the dole if they don’t work 1/2 of what they usually get if they say no !!!!
Exact same story twice this morning from ABC!
You SURE about that I think you're BULLSHITTING
The old but there are jobs schtick?!? How dare you refuse to uproot your entire life, move away from your friends, family, responsibilities and normality to come and perform this menial task for someone else.. The sheer selfishness of people. Amirite..
Not necessarily true. Employers are only wanting experienced people, even for the most basic roles and aren’t willing to try unproven workers with great resumes
States need to abolish stamp duty so people can sell their homes and buy new ones without a massive financial penalty. It's the best thing for the regions and the cities.
