Labour Hire Sydney: The Industry is growing
- magda
Labour Hire is currently at an all-time high in Sydney. It is because of its massive amount of construction, infrastructure, civil and fit-out projects in full swing across the city. The demand for Labour Hire in Sydney has never been greater. Some of the key factors for this are the rise of unemployment. It coupled with the lack of youth that is entering the Construction Industry. According to the 2017 IBIS World Report, the Labour Hire industry currently stands at $20bn with an average annual growth of 2.2%.
With the growth of this demand, Sydney is a dream destination for migrant workers to settle. With its fantastic weather, great quality of life and multicultural diversity. It is also the number one city in Australia for jobs and career opportunities. So, it is no wonder there is a constant supply of skilled migrant workers looking to start a life in Sydney.
Unfortunately, this massive demand for skilled labour in the construction industry has also seen a growth of rogue labour hire agencies. They are trying to make a quick buck by exploiting these migrant workers. By paying poor wages, providing no training or career pathway and sending inexperienced workers to sites all across the city. These rogue agencies are only interested in how much they can get from their clients with absolutely no care for their workers.
