The latest Australian Geoscientist Unemployment Survey recorded the highest levels of geoscientist unemployment and underemployment since the survey series commenced.
Australian geoscientist unemployment in the September quarter of 2015 was 15.5% nationally, up slightly from the June quarter result of 15.2%. The underemployment rate was 21.2%, a significant increase on the 19.9% recorded in June. More than one third of underemployed geoscientists were unable to secure more than 10% of their desired workload.
Australian geoscientists have endured 12 months without any tangible sign of improvement in employment prospects. The survey results are still being analysed and further results, including how each state fared, will be released next week via the AIG website and Linkedin group.
