THE PERTH LIFE: You Never Knew Life Was So Good In One Of The Most Isolated Places On Earth - Page 2

Thanks. Interesting that construction is so high. I'm guessing a significant portion of that is mining related work too.

Kelli · January 27th, 2012, 02:17 PM

^Yes, a lot of those categories would be involved in mining. I'd fall under 'Professional, Scientific and Technical Services', that involves a lot of mining work too, engineers, surveyors, geologists etc.

Would be interesting to compare the breakdown to other states.

Kelli · January 27th, 2012, 02:33 PM

NSW quite a different makeup.

Actually every other state/territory has social services and retail at the top.

Just an observation but i thought Port Lincoln had the highest average net worth per capita, not Perth.

Tell us all about it Uncle Cruise.

Cruise · January 28th, 2012, 12:59 PM

Well what would you like to know?

Kelli · January 28th, 2012, 05:48 PM

Wasn't sure if you were serious about Port Lincoln, was wondering if there was a story? I don't know the first thing about the place actually.

What the hell is in Port Lincoln, apart from tuna fisherman?

Cruise · January 29th, 2012, 08:10 AM

The fishing industry is huge there. I remember reading an article that Port Lincoln had the highest amount of millionares per capita compared to anywhere else in the world, but of course that would be skewed by the small population.

Highest net worth = most fishing nets?

Err derr, Highest net worth = highest quality fishing nets, not quantity

Kelli · January 29th, 2012, 12:44 PM

Who has the highest gross worth then? Somewhere in Qld probably.

I've only heard it's per capita in Australia. Either way you're right, fishing is big business in Port Lincoln. In fact it's home to the largest fishing fleet in the country.

Isn't that where Dean Lukin was from?

How easy is it to find work in Perth not including the mining industry?

AC_Mongerer · January 30th, 2012, 07:10 AM

That's it i'm heading west. Is it near impossible to find work in the mines?

Kelli · January 30th, 2012, 10:39 AM

Depends, if you've able to work in Australia and want it bad enough I don't think it would be that hard. An acquaintance of mine who's in her 50's just gave up her long term job as a sales representative, did a short course in security and now has a job FIFO on a minesite security gate. It took a few weeks to organise. Depends on the demand in certain areas and the skills you have or are willing to get.

Depends, what kind of work are you thinking? WA's unemployment rate is 4.3 and falling. There are shortages in areas. Ditto about above in terms of skills and demand, although if you've got any skill base, at 4.3% I don't see that you'd have much trouble getting something. There are signs up in retail places advertising for staff, that is only a recent thing here.

I don't hate it, I'm usually just suffering from shock afterwards.
