To gain insights into the labour market for tradespeople, this report investigates changes in supply, demand and how adjustment occurred through the varied economic conditions of the past 20 years. It concludes that there was no overall severe shortage of tradespeople during the recent boom time but that some local labour markets experienced excess supply or demand. Migration (both from overseas and internally) and wage adjustments appear to have been important functions in responding to these conditions. A copy of the report is available here: http://www.ncver.edu.au/publications/2273.html  Careers in Sport Workshops - New Dates Careers in Sport Workshops  Want to be an electrician or plumber?
