210 DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS AND EMPLOYMENT Chapter 4 Northern Territory Regional Profi les - Barkly Region Interestingly, many of the occupations listed in the table are not currently identified as being in short supply in the NT or nationally. This may indicate that employers in the region look elsewhere for skilled labour and are advertising using alternative methods. Of the jobs advertised in the previous year: 15% were in food, hospitality and tourism 13% were for labourers, factory and machine hands 10% were in cleaning 10% were on marketing and sales representatives. 8.3. Labour Demand Summary The number of employed people living in this region has fallen by 6% the five years to 2006, whereas employment in the NT has grown by 3.9% over this period. Employment decline in the five years to 2006 has been evenly spread across industry groups, with Personal and Other Services declining the most (72 fewer workers) followed by Government Administration (36 fewer workers). Skill shortages are evident across a large range of occupations in the region’s major industries. The concentrated and sustained employment growth in the NT is not mirrored in the region which has shown a decline in employment. With job opportunities and skill shortages in growth areas, such as Darwin, the Barkly region will find it difficult to retain skills in the face of increasing competition. REPORT
