According to the latest ManpowerGroup Talent Shortage Survey, released earlier today, 38% of the more than 1,500 firms surveyed across Australia reported difficulties filling job vacancies due to talent shortages this year.

People who specialise in hanging corks from hats are in very high demand. Barbers who can trim the sides but leave the back long. And sheep shearers, of course.

That is misleading. The unemployment has increased there. I know of some people in Australia that are finding it really difficult to find a job or getting a new job. Also I am in Australia and unemployed.
