Population density map
-
For those that are interested, the Australian Bureau of Statistics has released a map of Australia showing population density at a per 1km2 grid.
We have a lot of unpopulated areas... actually it's probably more accurate to say that we have a few populated areas.

There have been a lot of job openings for various industries.
I don't usually keep a tab on the jobs sector unless I want a new job (hardly ever) -

Because of better opportunity

Someone posted on FB the other day an overlay of Australia over the USA showing that in landmass they are about the same. That being said, it's surprising that it has less than 10% the population of the USA.
Is the land that inhospitable to development?

All the major populations are on the coastline. There's not much inland other than mining towns and the tourist industry at Alice Springs.

Not that much different than the US. More extreme, but same idea. Just think of the Great Lakes as a coastline and it mostly lines up. If you consider the Mississippi a coast too (it basically is) then it really turns into that.
