Jobs warning: The workers most at risk in Australia's unemployment surge
Australia's white collar workers will soon be under threat as experts warn the job slow down is 'more complicated' this time around. In its latest release of jobs data, the ABS revealed Australia's unemployment rate soared to 4.3 per cent, its highest level since the post pandemic recovery. The falls were broad-based with NSW, Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory all seeing strong spikes in unemployment. Drilling down into the figures, so far it has impacted blue collar workers disproportionately, but it is expected major technological advancements will flip the script in the next year. ABS data released in June shows workers living in Sydney's west, including the Parramatta district have an unemployment rate of 5.7 per cent, compared to Sutherland in Sydney's south, which recorded just a 2.3 per cent unemployment rate. The job market is impacting Australian workers differently. Picture: NewsWire/ Monique Harmer Meanwhile, those in Melbourne Inner East and South have seen a 0.2 per cent spike in unemployment while those in Geelong have actually seen the market strengthen. AMP chief economist Shane Oliver said this could change as unemployment becomes 'more complicated this time' as the number of new public sector roles drops and AI use becomes more commonplace within corporations. 'Normally it's the more cyclical parts that are vulnerable including manufacturing, construction, and retail,' he told NewsWire. 'This time could be a little different.' 'You've also got the overlay of AI coming in which suggests there could be more of an impact on white collar jobs, as companies seek to lower their costs through the emergence of the new technology.' White collars are tipped to be the hardest hit by the rise in unemployment. Picture: NewsWire / Damian Shaw Seek's monthly jobs data also points to less need for white collar workers. The construction sector was the only area that recorded a lift in job ads in June as a whole, while there were some pockets in growth for those in professional services including markets and communications and accounting. Meanwhile available information and communications technology positions continued to decline, with job ads falling 3.5 per cent in June or 10.5 per cent for the year. Advertised positions in the sector have now fallen below covid levels. Seek senior economist Blair Chapman said there had been a 5.5 per cent fall in job ads, and an increase in the number of Australians looking for work. Traditional construction jobs are less likely to be impacted by the change in workers. Construction Generics. Picture: NewsWire / John Appleyard 'On the other side of the market, applications per job ad have never been higher, and have now surpassed the peak recorded in 2020 when job ads were at their lowest,' he said. 'This rise is due to an increased candidate pool, rather than candidates applying for more roles. 'Over the past couple of years more Australians have taken on a second job, or are looking to do so, and more workers have entered or re-entered the workforce. 'This is likely in response to increased living costs, and as a result, competition is extremely strong for most available roles.'

What Really Happened Between Kai Cenat and Jynxzi During the Clash Royale Stream? Deepdive into the Streamer's Latest Controversy
Kai Cenat (Image via Getty) The world of streaming is no stranger to unexpected drama, but the recent misfire involving Twitch giants Kai Cenat and Jynxzi during a supposed Clash Royale collaboration has left fans stunned, confused, and divided. What was pitched as a fun, competitive game night turned into a public mess fueled by poor communication, chaotic execution, and an accidental snub. AMP Hosts Clash Royale Night Featuring Jynxzi On July 25, 2025, the content collective Any Means Possible (AMP)—featuring major names like Kai Cenat, Fanum, Agent00, and Duke Dennis—held a special Clash Royale Game Night stream. AMP invited Nicholas 'Jynxzi', a popular Twitch streamer known for his expertise in Clash Royale, to coach the group and organize a training tournament. With hype building around the event, fans anticipated a fresh, engaging take on competitive mobile gaming. How Kai Cenat Derailed A Promising Setup in Real-Time Jynxzi joined a Discord call ready to guide the team, but what followed was anything but structured. His attempts to explain the tournament format and offer coaching were repeatedly drowned out by unrelated conversations, loud interruptions, and general stream chaos. Despite his efforts, AMP members seemed more focused on having fun among themselves than listening to instructions. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Mini House for 60 sqm for Seniors with Toilet and Bath (Price May Surprise You) Pre Fabricated Homes | Search Ads Search Now Undo Kai Cenat's Career is Finished. At one point, Jynxzi expressed his frustration to his audience: 'Chat, we might never start this tournament. I'm not even trolling.' (1:27:24) Without any warning to Jynxzi, the AMP crew gradually began dropping out of the call or muting themselves. In a sudden shift, Kai Cenat started a different segment—an IRL (in-real-life) bit involving medieval costumes and skits—without informing Jynxzi beforehand. Jynxzi Reacts to the Abrupt Shift As chat messages poured in alerting him to the change, Jynxzi realized he had been left hanging. Disappointed, he ended his stream: 'Alright, chat, Imma go to the gym. I don't even know what's going on… I tried to set up a tourney. I don't know. Imma see y'all boys!' (1:34:04) Viewers were quick to criticize AMP, accusing them of disrespecting Jynxzi's time and effort. Kai Cenat Responds to Backlash Kai appeared surprised when his chat informed him that Jynxzi had ended his stream. He immediately responded on-stream: 'Tell him come back… he got off for real? Jynxzi ended for real?! On God?!' He admitted there had been a lack of communication: 'I don't think anyone informed him that there's an IRL bit… I personally did not want to do the IRL bit… I feel bad now, I feel bad now because the [guy] was literally waiting all day… I'm still going to do it… dedicate a day…' Fan Reaction to the Kai-Jynxzi Controversy The incident set off a wave of reactions online. Many of Jynxzi's fans felt he was disrespected, while others criticized the AMP team for treating the event like a throwaway stream. Memes flooded TikTok and X, and hashtags calling for a real collaboration trended. Some defended Kai, saying the miscommunication wasn't intentional, while others pointed fingers at AMP's lack of professionalism in planning the event. The incident became a talking point across Reddit, Discord, and fan forums. Kai Cenat Vows to Make It Right In the days following the controversy, Kai Cenat acknowledged the mishap and said he planned to work with Jynxzi again under better circumstances. He promised a dedicated Clash Royale stream that would be properly organized and respectful of both creators' time. This controversy shines a light on the tension between casual streaming and professional gaming content. As streamers like Kai collaborate with esports-focused creators like Jynxzi, expectations around preparation and respect come into play. Miscommunications like this aren't just awkward—they reflect broader issues in content creation when entertainment value clashes with genuine collaboration.
