Analysis of the labor market of Australia
The prospective employees enter the Bank of Australia either of the two channels that is
through the direct application as the junior with proper education were less in number and in
need so the referral is made to the bank. However, there are many external forces that
influence the fortune of the company and in the banking sector; the external factors like
regulatory, economic, political environment have a major influence. The employers have
little control when it comes to local or regional labor because such pressure is directly linked
to the market forces. Labor supply is taken into consideration after a proper analysis of the
company requirement. Here, in this scenario the banking, industry is selected and going by
the trend it can be said that the role of an analyst attracts huge applicants. Since the pool of
candidates is more, the competition is immense (Mercer, 2017). The immense requirement
of the job in Australia has led to a huge demand in the market. The external scenario pushes
the level of completion and since the job, an analyst provides an immense exposure to the
overall bank, it is highly demanding. The role of an analyst is the stepping-stone to the
banking career and hence, the position has many applications.

Weakness

Career
• The bank expenses of the bank have increased by 4% that is due to the changes in the
market and technology, however, such reason cannot be termed as satisfactory in nature
because it needs to stress on personnel cost and disorder in currency (Bertilsson, 2017).
• There is a huge dependency on the offshore borrowing and CBA is surviving through the
process of indiscriminate subsidy. This factor makes the bank vulnerable in nature and hence
risk is associated with the working environment (Carmichael & Graham, 2012).
Opportunities
• Expansion in various geographical region and market will help the bank to flourish. The
prospect in China has helped the bank and free trade agreement between India and Australia
will help the bank in more advancement (CBA, 2017).
• It provides services through telephones to the Indigenous and Aboriginal Torres Straits
Island and chances of providing loans are certain.
Threats
• Deposits and debt of CBA have little protection after the government shares are sold and
hence are a serious threat.
• The new regulations by ARPA and RBA will stress on CBA to push their tier one ratio
higher and hence will influence the performance.
