The Recruiter Daily posted an article today forecasting the best and worst growth industries in Australia for 2010-11.

IBISWorld forecasts the top five growth industries will be: (1) Organic farming; (2) Online information services; (3) Insurance brokerage; (4) Mobile telecommunications carriers; and (5) Alternative health therapies.

The least five growth industries include: (1) Insulation services; (2) Wired telecommunication services; (3) Paper manufacturing; (4) Video hire outlets; and (5) Grape growing.

Hudson reports that the skills shortage in the IT sector poses a greater challenge than the Global Financial Crisis! The roles forecast as the most difficult to fill include project managers, program directors, business analysts and enterprise architects. Furthermore, Hudson also reported that many organisations are offering double the remuneration than those handed out in 2009! If you’re thinking of changing your career path into the IT sector or for those of you who already have the qualifications, skills and/or experience in this field but branched out into another field, this may be the perfect time to step right back in.

I’m here to help market you!

Cheers,
