What this means
General notes on reading job ads for Other Clerical and Administrative Workers, chosen by the direction of job ads over the year. They are not advice about your situation.
For job seekers
A steady count means the number of new ads is much the same as a year ago. The mix of occupations and places can still shift underneath, so look at the groups and regions that matter to you.
For students
Steady demand today says little about demand when you finish studying. Pair it with longer-term sources such as Jobs and Skills Australia's employment projections (opens another site) and Your Career (opens another site).
For employers
With ad numbers steady, competition for staff is likely to be similar to a year ago. The occupation tables show where that differs for the roles you hire.
Job ads are not all jobs: many roles are filled without an online ad. See the limits of the data.
