SummaryThe global financial crisis affected expansion of the construction industry in Australia. In 2010, industry growth slowed down compared with stronger growth recorded in 2009 and 2008. Various issues affected the industry’s growth, including labor and capital supply constraints and high construction costs. Commercial and industrial construction in the country also contributed to the decline in growth as the shortage of working capital resulted in clients delaying tenders and cancelling planned project developments. However, Australia has avoided recession despite of global financial slowdown as a result of its resilient labor market. According to Australian Bureau of Statistics, unemployment was below in 2010 and this built consumer confidence to maintain spending throughout the downturn.

Construction is the fourth largest employing industry in Australia, employing 979,600 people  of the total workforce as of February 2010. The construction industry is strongly influenced by economic cycles and therefore can be susceptible to skill shortages as well as oversupply for some skills. During recent years, the construction industry experienced strong employment growth but the recent global recession resulted in a downturn in construction activity in Australia, with some loss of employment in 2010. The shortage of skilled workers has led to delays in Australian construction projects. In the state of Victoria alone, the industry is estimated to report a shortfall of 40,000 skilled workers over the next five years.
