The Future of Regional Jobs report has just been released.
“This report looks into the implications of both the opportunities and challenges of the future of work in Australia’s regions.

It examines what is needed to facilitate shifts in the local skills base to enable local workers to benefit from the jobs to come in the industries projected to grow.
