Irish hairdressers and cooks in demand in Australia

South Australia is set to be the top destination for Irish people looking for work this year, with hairdressers and cooks most in demand and heading the occupations list just published by the South Australian immigration department.

Migration specialists at www.visafirst.com say that, contrary to reports of increased unemployment rates in Australia, there is still a variety of employment opportunities on offer for Irish workers with particular skills.

According to Edwina Shanahan, manager with visafirst.com: "Despite news of increased unemployment in South Australia to 7%, South Australia has added these occupations to their list, showing there is demand for many occupations there. It is important if considering the move Down Under to take a look and see where your occupation is in demand."
