Jobs growth earmarked for financial services
Financial services has been included in a list of top five jobs areas likely to be pursued by school leavers this year.
The list, developed by research firm Ibisworld, pointed to employment opportunities in some segments of financial services including securitisation, share registry services, mortgage broking and superannuation fund management.
Ibisworld general manager Robert Bryant said that while overall employment growth figures for the financial services industry might not appear particularly strong at an annualised 1.8 per cent, a number of sub-sectors held opportunities.
“With the return of investors to the market, the big winner in finance is the securitisation sector with projected employment growth of 29 per cent between 2011 and 2016 and annualised wage growth of 20.8 per cent,” he said.
He said opportunities also existed with respect to share registry services, mortgage broking, foreign banking and superannuation fund management.
The other hot employment sectors noted in the Ibisworld research were child-care services, veterinary services, integrated logistics and health.
