The top 5 Australian industries are projected to contribute to more than 2/3rds of growth of Jobs in Australia by November 2018.

 

Meanwhile, employment is projected to decrease in Forestry & Fishing, Agriculture & Mining, and Manufacturing industries. The decline of jobs in Fishing, Forestry and Agriculture with 2800 or 0.9% is the continued trend in these sectors. It is also owing to the steady investment of these sectors in labor-saving equipment and plant.

 

The Mining sector in Australia is also projected to witness a decline in jobs with 12,300 or 4.5%. It is against the backdrop of the anticipated peak in the capital expenditure. This is also owing to the transition of new mines to less labor-intensive phase of operations from the construction phase.
