CEO Message – July 2018 Message THE 40 YEARS OF YOUR CAREER

By wsc group | Created on July 12, 2018

For many years now, I have been talking with our business clients about the biggest challenges they face. Always at the top of their list is ‘staffing issues’. On the other hand, our clients, who are employees that work for businesses, say that their desire is to “feel valued” and to “help the business they work for grow”.

As we all know, there have been many articles, written in recent times, covering the very low wage growth. The below Wage Price Index graph shows the quarterly trend between September 1998 and September 1997. Between the March Quarter 2017 and the March Quarter 2018 there was only a 2.1% increase across Australia according to ABS data.



In addition to low wage growth, it seems that unemployment continues to hover between 5% and 6% (refer “Australian Unemployment Rate” graph) with real unemployment being about 20%.
