As the national economic gradually reopened from the closure of the new-crowned pneumonia epidemic, job ads in australia jumped 42% in june, but the number is still much lower than at the beginning of this year.

After a 53.7 per cent plunge in job ads in March, it fell slightly by 0.3 per cent in May.

She noted that the recent sharp rise COVID-19 new cases in Melbourne and the re-closing of the postcode areas of 10 epidemic hotspots would pose a risk to the pace and timing of economic recovery.
