Yesterday I caught a train & bus in Perth; the "bog" standard public transport type.
The main Perth station station and the train both had advertisements seeking people to work as transit guards.
The council bus had an ad for people to become bus drivers.
Walking past a Department of Works construction site in the city there is a sign on the fence that they are looking for workers - apply within. No experience needed. Training provided if you want to become a plant operator.
I am aware that there is a desperate shortage of trades people in the building & construction industries.
This shortage is unprecedented in my memory.
This state's economy is booming.
House prices are still going up at a strong rate. Rents too. My gut feel is that the greatest pressure is on rents and I expect a significant increase in rents in the next 12 to 24 months. Say a 50% increase over a few years.
