Work ahead for WA economy as it seeks to grow post COVID 19
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and shifting global trends have the potential to accelerate and generate long-term structural change in the WA economy.
Committee for Perth’s latest FACTBase Bulletin Future of Work: The Transformation of Jobs in Western Australia and Greater Perth warns of the potential for a skills shortage and increased unemployment should government and industry not develop a strong understanding of the domestic and global drivers impacting the structural composition of the WA economy.
Committee for Perth CEO Marion Fulker said understanding these drivers would provide opportunities for a coordinated and proactive response to maintain positive job growth in the short to medium term.
“Researchers have highlighted the potential for the acceleration of trends towards e-commerce and automation along with a growth in the health sector as a result of the pandemic,” Mrs Fulker said.
