"We're in a tight labor market which is set to further tighten," Pit Crew Management Consulting Services Pty Ltd. Managing Director and founder Peter Dyball told the Mineral Sands Conference in Perth, Australia, on Nov. 17.

Total labor demand in the state's resources and energy sector stood at 140,000 workers in construction, mining and shutdown roles in mid-2021. That figure is set to peak at about 166,000 mid-2023, with a total shortage of about 31,000 workers by the third quarter of 2023, according to Pit Crew.

With the state's unemployment rate at 4.1% in September, "just about everyone who is qualified and experienced can be considered to be employed either in the resources sector or in the broader economy," said Dyball, whose firm analyzes over 70 occupations in the resources sector.
