Super Connected Jobs, written by KPMG partner Bernard Salt, explores how increasing broadband connectivity can bring about drastic changes to the traditional workforce.
The report shows:
- Three million new jobs by 2030—with a particular increase in the amount of part-time working women.
- Significant digital transformation—for existing jobs like beauty therapists and personal trainers, and an increase in high-tech start-ups.
- Entrepreneurialism on the rise—new start-ups and new technologies with increased connectivity will see more businesses move outside metropolitan areas.
- Better connectivity—will increase flexibility and allow people to work from anywhere, impacting all job sectors.
The Government's commitment to connecting all Australians to high-speed broadband by 2020, no matter where they live, will continue to support innovation in the job sector.
