Specialist recruitment firm, Michael Page, has released its salary survey for Q1 2019 – showing that South Africa’s job market is very unpredictable.<\/p>\n

Despite a short recovery observed in South Africa in the first half of 2018 and the emergence from a recession with a +2.2% GDP growth in the third quarter, the official unemployment rate is back at its 2017 level, the group said.<\/p>\n

“This is due to weak investment & consumer confidence, along with continued limited household spending & private investment.<\/p>\n

“With the economic stimulus package announced in September 2018 and a heightened commitment to attract foreign investment, we are expecting a positive economic impact on the GDP growth and the unemployment rate for 2019.”<\/p>\n

While the majority of sectors remain under pressure, the group said the significant drivers will come from the Banking & Financial Services, IT and Transportation sectors.<\/p>\n

Below BusinessTech looked at some of the best-paid jobs in South Africa, according to Michael Page’s data.<\/p>\n
