Yep, but I think it’s impact is particularly acute in south east queensland, because
1, for years we have had a natural birth rate up here higher than the other states.
2, we have substantial net interstate migration, each people from other states moving here.
3, we have substantial international migration.
4, As I said before south east Queensland is a base for both retirees and also has substantial amounts of people that work else where either physically eg FIFO or digitally or in both traditional and non traditional export type industries where they aren’t supplying their labour into the locally market, but add demand to the local employment market.
5, we also have substantial tourism market which adds a lot of employment demand.
and the rising crime rate , made it wise to move further west ( about a hundred miles or so )
but then i am on a disability pension , i become the safety hazard when entering any workplace
