The demand for people in this sector will create problems for others sectors such as defence that will be competing for scarce skilled labour.

Despite this loss of momentum, South Australia has enjoyed a very strong recovery from the pandemic.   July 24 2023 Poppy Nwosu /newsroom/news/list/2023/07/24/sa-household-spending-loses-momentum-as-cost-of-living-weighs-heavy /newsroom/news/list/2022/12/16/sa-economic-growth-to-moderate-as-headwinds-intensify-and-capacity-constraints South Australia’s economy will continue to expand in the new year, but at a slower pace. After two years of rapid growth, the state economy is now operating at a very high level of capacity utilisation with unemployment at low levels.

Aggregate spending within the state has grown strongly over the past year in response to strong growth in household consumption and public consumption spending, and a solid, though lockdown-interrupted, rise in dwelling investment. But with household and public sector consumption expected to weaken, the State’s export performance will need to improve to compensate.

Some sectors of the economy will be scarred by the effects of prolonged border closures. July 13 2021 Kelly Brown /newsroom/news/list/2021/07/13/slow-vaccine-roll-out-could-deepen-economic-scars
