SEEK salary data reveals the top 20 fastest growing salaries in Australia, comparing pre-and post-Covid full-time wages.

Australia’s unemployment rate recently dipped below 4%. Post-election, the supply of workers should start to increase, but staff shortages will likely continue to be an issue in many industries and a serious challenge for Australia’s three biggest hiring industries: Trades & Services, Healthcare & Medical, and Hospitality & Tourism. 

We’re in the midst of a great job boom, with market conditions unlike anything we’ve experienced in recent years. COVID-19 has played a critical role in this shift, and its knock-on effects will be felt across the hiring market for the foreseeable future.

The current employment landscape looks markedly different from the pre-COVID climate. With more jobs available than ever before, we are firmly in the midst of Australia’s great job boom.
