The number of job vacancies in Australia climbed to record levels in November and look like rising further in 2018, an economist says.
Employers were seeking to fill 210,300 positions in November, up 2.7 per cent from August in seasonally adjusted terms, the Australian Bureau of Statistics said on Thursday.
Vacancies were up 16.1 per cent from a year earlier, the strongest annual growth rate in seven years, CommSec senior economist Ryan Felsman said.
There is little sign of a slowdown ahead, he said.
Private sector job vacancies rose by a seasonally adjusted 3.8 per cent from August, to 192,000.
"NSW and Victoria continue to lead the way, supported by record low interest rates and population growth, attracted to Australia's two most populous cities, Sydney and Melbourne," Mr Felsman said.
"Pleasingly, vacancies are rising in the mining states of Western Australia and Queensland."
Queensland recorded its highest number of vacancies in five years, Mr Felsman said, at 35,000 in November.
In the public sector, vacancies in November were down 7.5 per cent from August, at 18,300.
