November 2024 data were released on 11 December 2024.
Introduction
The Internet Vacancy Index (IVI) is a monthly count of online job advertisements compiled by Jobs and Skills Australia. Data are available by occupational groups, skill level groups, state or territory and by regional areas.
Key points
In seasonally adjusted terms, job advertisements decreased by 1.9% (or 4,200 job advertisements) in November 2024 to stand at 221,200. Vacancy numbers continue at elevated levels, with around 30% more advertisements in the labour market presently than compared with the monthly average for 2019.
The monthly Vacancy Report includes spotlights on key facets of the Australian labour market. These bring together the wider breadth of data produced by Jobs and Skills Australia and our external stakeholders to provide an overarching summary of a particular labour market segment.
This month’s spotlight ‘Stocking Up on Advisers: Is a bull market for Fin-talent on the horizon?’ examines recent decreases in online job advertisements for Financial Investment Advisers and Managers amidst shifting consumer demand and a changing regulatory environment.
Headline and detailed results for occupations, skill level groups and regions are also available in the Vacancy Report.

Caveats
Jobs and Skills Australia publishes seasonally adjusted IVI data to better show monthly fluctuations in job advertisements, which can be affected by seasonal factors and economic shocks such as the COVID-19 pandemic. There is some volatility in the IVI series month-on-month, particularly for results post-COVID-19, and as such results should be interpreted carefully.
