Perth job market - what's happening at the moment?
Discussion
I am an ex-Perth boy living in the UK.
Thinking of going back - what's the job market like?
Is there still much 'unskilled' mining demand?
Anything else booming? I expect there is plenty of back office accountancy work etc - but I'm not an accountant.
So, what are all you guys doing out there??

Any business analyst / business process engineering work out there?
My timing has been pretty poor. I did Mech Eng at Curtin, but there was no mining boom (or any boom for that matter) in 1991-92.
Did my work experience in a gold mine, but getting that was bloody hard.
How things have changed!

Well, been in the UK 20 years - and it is just starting to turn a bit sour.
I need to contact a few of my old uni mates - some of whom still work in oil& gas, mining etc - and see if there is somewhere I can get a foot in the door.
My mum has a house in Marmion, she will need me back soon to look after her in her dotage - but I won't be too happy paying $12 for a beer!!
Was in Perth in 2010, and pretty stunned at the prices. Wage inflation from the mining boom has changed Perth from a good value, isolated oasis into a city which is more expensive than NYC or Tokyo or London!
Still miss Cott, the Swan, Rotto.
I need my head examined for leaving!!
