Australia Freelance Market Newsletter 57
Dear Readers,
In this issue, we continue sorting the ‘wheat from the chaff’ trying to understand the impact the global meltdown will have on the regional freelance employment market. The outlook is positive with the Australian economy tipped to stay in growth mode and generating a $5B surplus. In addition, the Gartner Group’s research indicates that the Asia Pacific IT sector; a good indicator of overall corporate health, is projected to grow at 8.3% over the next 12 months. We include some interesting research from the UK which shows that over the last decade there has been a 14% increase in individuals choosing to be self-employed as freelance contractors.
We offer some useful business tips on free software provided by the ATO to help you effectively manage your business finances and provide an update on our marketing activities which is generating increased demand through buyer (client) awareness of AustraliaFreelanceMarket.com.au.
We welcome an article from contractor 2864 outlining the human resource development services he provides and as always provide some interesting but totally useless facts and the obligatory bad joke.
This next month, happy reading!
