    Unemployment in (Gold Coast): A Snapshot of Joblessness Amidst Lockdowns

    The proportion of people (aged 15 and over) who reported that they did not have a job of any kind in the week leading up to the 10th of August, but were actively looking for work during the four weeks prior to the 10th of August for the 2021 Australian Census. It is important to note that on this date, Victoria was in lockdown, whilst NSW and ACT would follow in the next fortnight.

    Unemployment data can be useful for property investors and those looking to move as it provides insight into the economic health of a suburb. High unemployment rates may indicate a lack of job opportunities and potential financial instability, which could impact property values and livability. On the other hand, low unemployment rates may suggest a thriving local economy and a desirable place to live. For example, a property investor may use this data to identify suburbs with low unemployment rates and strong job growth potential, while someone looking to move may use it to find areas with a stable job market and good quality of life. Additionally, low unemployment rates may also indicate a higher level of community engagement and social cohesion, which can contribute to a more livable and desirable neighborhood.

    For those seeking opportunities and resources while dealing with unemployment in the Gold Coast region, suburbs such as Luscombe, Numinbah Valley, and Woongoolba present notable cases. These areas have higher proportions of unemployed individuals actively seeking work, as indicated by recent census data. The prevalence of job seekers in these locales could imply the presence of supportive community networks and easier access to job assistance services. Furthermore, Austinville and Stapylton also rank high, suggesting potential concentrated efforts in job-placement initiatives or higher availability of temporary employment opportunities. Communities in these top-ranking suburbs may benefit from policies focused on economic recovery and employment generation, making them prime areas for community and governmental support programs.
