The jobs market is remaining buoyant, despite a small decrease in listings.

The latest Seek Employment Report shows job ads fell one percent between September and October.

But they're up 16 percent compared to October last year.

Hospitality and Tourism, Trades and Services and Retail and Consumer Products have had the largest monthly falls.

Seek Country Manager Rob Clark says the number of applications per job has increased.

He says that's good new for employers, but overall it's still a job seeker's market.
