Australia: Labour Market (Oct 2012)

Australia: Labour Market (Oct 2012)

Dominic Bryant - Market Economics
Asian Instant Insight | 08 Nov 2012 02:54 |

Employment surprised to the upside somewhat in October, for a second consecutive month. Full-time employment drove the increase. However, other indicators of labour market health are weak at present. In particular, the trend in hours worked is soft. Typically this is consistent with significant domestic demand weakness, which we expect to show through in the Q3 and Q4 GDP numbers. Therefore, we continue to expect a 25bp RBA rate cut in December.

Mining Companies in Chile

Mining Companies of Chile are thus looking to bringing down the cost and increasing profits in a phase where the prices of processed copper have almost doubled. The Chilean Mining Companies are using the latest state of the art technology and cost cutting managerial practices and to this end are employing people with newly gathered skill sets and training. This in turn gives a tremendous boost to the economy by generating employment opportunities. So in seeking more profits mining companies at Chile are actually working towards the betterment of the economy.

As part of Blog Tour London, we visited the Design Centre Chelsea Harbour in London. During our visit, we were hosted by two sponsors: Samuel Heath and Victoria + Albert. Samuel Heath specilizes in both classic and contemporaty bath fittings and Victoria + Albert produces the most amazing volcanic baths and sink basins. Here’s a highlight from our visit to both showrooms!


The entrance to the Samuel Heath showroom at the Design Centre Chelsea Harbour.


Sleek modern bath fittings on display.


Chic bath accessories in black.


My somewhat iconic (& personal fave) pic of fellow bloggers and blog tour members: Igor of Happy Interior Blog and Will of Bright.Bazaar blog “modeling” for the Samuel Heath showroom.


Just across the way is the entrance to the Victoria + Albert showroom.


Once again, I enlisted Igor & Will to jump in the bath together…


And they weren’t shy about it!


Beautiful sink basins on display at the Victoria + Albert showroom.


And another!


Inside the light filled atrium of the Design Centre Chelsea Harbour.


In conjunction with the London Design Festival, many events were also taking place, including major UK design magazines showcasing at the design centre.


Land Rover UK provided transporation to and from the design centre to other major events.


Just outside the Design Centre Chelea Harbour is a courtyard with the Vaughan showroom.


And there is indeed a Chelsea Harbour!

Thank you to Samuel Heath and Victoria + Albert for hosting us!
