    Competition remains fierce for jobseekers despite SEEK ads and applications dropping


    SEEK's latest Employment Report shows job ads across the country decreased by three percent and applications per job ad, fell two percent.

    Country Manager Rob Clark says supply is still outstripping demand.

    He says it's a pretty small drop and we're still at record unemployment levels.
