Australia more popular than US and UK for job-seekers

Global jobs listing company Indeed has found that more people are seeking the sunny sights of Australia over moves to United Kingdom and America.

In light of the recent political uncertainty in both countries, this is not completely surprising. Indeed discovered a 30% increase in overseas applications for jobs in Australia since April when compared to the same period last year, as well as a 10% increase in job searches to Australia compared to the UK and America.

Here are just some of the reasons why people are considering relocating to Australia.

Working conditions

The working conditions in Australia are considered to be among the best in the world. The average working week is 36 hours. A trade occupation will generally be 7am-3:30pm, while an office role will on average be 9am-5pm.

Many options to find the right lifestyle

Some may love the hustle and bustle of Sydney, while others would prefer the quiet life and surf of the Gold Coast. Australia is so vast and diverse that you will find the right atmosphere for you as you enjoy the sunshine wherever you decide on moving.
