Online job advertisements on the site SEEK in March showed a rise of 75% year-on-year, the company says, offering a reminder that March 2020 was the month when the pandemic first had an effect on the job market.

The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) has allocated $1.6 million in funding to energy infrastructure company Jemena to undertake a residential electric vehicle (EV) managed charging trial with four other electricity networks in the ACT, Victoria and Tasmania.

A strong showing by Victoria has helped boost online job ads for October, the recruitment firm SEEK says, adding that though ads were up by 8.5% month-on-month, there was a 11.7% fall year-on-year, the lowest year-on-year drop since the beginning of the pandemic. Last month, the month-on-month growth was higher, at 9.25%.
