Unemployment Figures 

Australian unemployment figures had remained relatively stable, hovering between four to six percent for some time before recently dropping to 3.5 percent in June 2023. Unemployment levels and the economy have regularly been a priority of the Australian government and unemployment remains a key political platform for the major parties during elections. However, long-term unemployment remains a concern, with the rate almost doubling between 2009 and 2019.

Unemployment among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples 

The employment outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islanders in Australia remain a key indicator for the ongoing inequality experienced by this population group. The figures remain high, especially among Aboriginal youths aged 15 to 24 years old, with almost one-fifth who are out of regular employment as of 2015. This meant that more than 25 thousand Aboriginal youths were out of work and struggling to find employment in that year.

In June 2023, the unemployment rate in Australia was 3.5 percent, lower than the pre-COVID-19 unemployment rate of around five percent. During 2020, the unemployment rate in Australia spiked to 7.6 percent amidst the country's second coronavirus wave.

New South Wales, the country’s most populous state, reported the lowest rate of unemployment at the time. Underemployment, however, was highest in Tasmania, with the country reporting a national underemployment rate of over six percent in June 2023. Some of the leading difficulties people in Australia reported as barriers to finding a job or more hours included too many other applicants for available jobs, and a lack of necessary training, qualifications, or experience.

Healthcare and social assistance remain the country’s leading employment industry, accounting for approximately 15 percent of employed persons.

As of May 2021, approximately three-quarters of employed persons working in the professional, scientific, and technical services industry in Australia had a tertiary education. Employed persons working in the construction industry were the least likely to have a tertiary education.

From the first half of 2020 until the second half of 2021, Australia’s construction industry was disrupted due to the coronavirus pandemic. The industry had seen a steady rise in employment between 2013 and 2019, with the number of employees recovering to around 1.28 million in 2022. As of November 2023, construction industry employment stood at approximately 1.35 million. How important is the construction industry? The construction industry plays a major economic role in Australia. The value of private sector construction was significantly higher than the value of public sector construction in 2023. Combined, these sectors cover engineering construction work, non-residential building, and residential building. Engineering construction work, which encompasses infrastructure, was the most predominant of the three. In 2023, the value of residential construction work completed across Australia’s private and public sectors amounted to around 30 billion Australian dollars higher than that of non-residential construction work. Job outlook The leading occupations in Australia's construction industry were carpenters and joiners. Roles within this industry vary greatly, with many entry-level jobs not requiring a tertiary education degree. In terms of trade work, apprenticeships and traineeships were the main pathways to enter the market. While the job outlook has consistently been robust in this industry, in 2023, the labor productivity index showed a decline compared to the previous year. On top of this, challenges faced in recent years, such as fluctuating material costs, project delays, and skilled worker shortages, could slow down growth in this industry.

Australia’s population

Australia’s ethnic diversity can be attributed to their history and location. The country’s colonization from Europeans is a significant reason for the majority of its population being Caucasian. Additionally, being that Australia is one of the most developed countries closest to Eastern Asia; its Asian population comes as no surprise.

Australia is one of the world’s most developed countries, often earning recognition as one of the world’s economical leaders. With a more recent economic boom, Australia has become an attractive country for students and workers alike, who seek an opportunity to improve their lifestyle. Over the past decade, Australia’s population has slowly increased and is expected to continue to do so over the next several years. A beautiful landscape, many work opportunities and a high quality of life helped play a role in the country’s development. In 2011, Australia was considered to have one of the highest life expectancies in the world, with the average Australian living to approximately 82 years of age.

From an employment standpoint, Australia has maintained a rather low employment rate compared to many other developed countries. After experiencing a significant jump in unemployment in 2009, primarily due to the world economic crisis, Australia has been able to remain stable and slightly increase employment year-over-year.
