Demand for labourers is on the up at a time when residential building construction is on the mend.
Government data shows labouring job vacancies posted on the internet grew by 0.6 per cent in November compared with a month earlier.
It was the only one of eight occupational groups monitored by the Department of Employment to rise in the month.
Overall internet vacancies fell 0.8 per cent in seasonally adjusted terms.
The fall was led by a 4.7 per cent drop in job ads in Western Australia.
The overall decline in job ads is at odds with other gauges of job advertising, such as the ANZ series, which has grown for six months in a row.
But it also comes in a week when the federal government has predicted the unemployment rate rising to 6.5 per cent by mid-2015.
The jobless rate was 6.3 per cent in November.
