Gross earnings increased by R44.3 billion from R783 billion in September 2021, to R827.3 billion in December 2021, equating to an increase of 5.7% in the final quarter of the year.
â€œThis was largely due to increases in the following industries: trade, community services, manufacturing, business services, transport, construction and electricity. Year-on-year, gross earnings increased by R51.7 billion or (6.7%) between December 2020 and December 2021,â€ the jobs portal says.
Looking at recruitment per location, CareerJunction says it is no surprise that more than 50% of vacancies are based in Gauteng, South Africa`s smallest province but largest economic hub.
It notes that just over 30% of job offers are in the Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal (KZN).
â€œWhen we compare Q1 2022 to Q1 2020, Gauteng, Western Cape and KZN show an increased demand for professionals in the manufacturing and assembly sector (Gauteng +28%; Western Cape +23%; KZN +37%).â€
It adds that a similar trend is evident for professionals in the admin, office and support sector (Gauteng +13%; Western Cape +3%; KZN +38%).
According to the jobs portal, building and construction professionals enjoy better employment prospects in Gauteng (+10%) and Western Cape (+9%), compared to two years ago.
KZN has shown a decline in demand for building and construction professionals over the last two years (-23%); however, this trend is likely to change in the coming months as a result of the recent flooding and damage in the province, it concludes.

In 2025, a quiet, but sharp, shift has taken hold inside parts of home affairs adjudication ranks: applications are being refused almost mechanically if they were not submitted at least 60 days before visa expiry.A wave of refusals repeating near-identical wording:The applicant did not submit his/her application no less than 60 days prior to the expiry date of his/her.

The rigid application of this rule, devoid of consideration for mitigating circumstances, raises serious concerns about the fairness and legality of such administrative decisions.
