Employment portal SEEK says it recorded the highest number of new job listings in its 23-year history over March.
Job listings are up a remarkable 75.1% over the same period in 2020, speaking to the labour market’s recovery from COVID-19 restrictions.
But many of the new listings “are for roles that were displaced in the last year”, SEEK states, raising questions about further job creation.
Employment portal SEEK tallied the highest number of new job listings in its 23-year history over March, suggesting Australian businesses are roaring back into action after pandemic shutdowns.
In a new report, SEEK says overall job listings are up 10.3% from February, and an astonishing 75.1% up from the same period last year, when the COVID-19 pandemic first shut Australia’s international border and forced businesses into hibernation.

that sexual harassment is “widespread and pervasive”.
“The data paints a comprehensive picture of the nature of sexual harassment in Australian workplaces. In the vast majority of cases, it is perpetrated by a man and in many cases; it is ongoing over an extended period,” she said.
She pointed out that reporting on workplace sexual harassment continues to be low. “Only 17% of people who experienced sexual harassment at work in the last five years made a formal report or complaint about the harassment.”
Power imbalance
Women decide not to report sexual harassment in their workplace for many reasons, including that they don’t think they will be believed and fear that speaking out will cost them their job. As the federal Liberal Party powerbrokers showed recently, sexual harassment is ignored for many reasons, including because the perpetrators are seen to be high performers and therefore “valuable” to the organisation.
