<strong>Geelong</strong> Advertiser data includes ads for all paid full-time, part-time and casual positions in the Barwon Region. The spike in job ads in<br />
June 2006 was due to recruitment for a new call centre. The spike in online job ads between June 2010 and July 2010 is due to Seek’s<br />
expansion <strong>of</strong> the geographic classification <strong>of</strong> job ads from ‘<strong>Geelong</strong>’ to ‘<strong>Geelong</strong> and Great Ocean Road’.<br />
