Logistics is where the jobs are

Logistics and warehousing are two
of a handful of sectors that are still
recruiting people, according to the
SA Adcorp Employment Index
released in the third week of June.
According to the Index,
employment levels are likely to
continue dropping until 2010,
after the index showed a drop of
5.7% in the demand for labour.
However, the job losses will
not be experienced across the
whole economy. Construction,
logistics and warehousing,
communications and information
technology, government and
personal services sectors remain
robust and are showing net
employment growth, says Adcorp
Holdings chief executive
Richard Pike.
“The sectors that are under
substantial strain and show
employment losses are mining,
manufacturing, retail and
wholesale trade, as well as
finance, real estate and business
services.”
