Australian job growth over the past year was concentrated in construction (+63k), healthcare & social assistance (+56k) and education & training (+48k).

Agriculture, forestry & fishing was the only industry where total jobs fell #ausbiz

A record 6.9% of Australia's workers had multiple jobs in the June quarter.

Ongoing cost-of-living pressures are likely to blame. Many workers are looking for more hours to keep their heads above water #ausbiz #auspol

Australia's job vacancy rate eased to 2% in the June quarter - so 2% of all jobs nationwide are unfilled.

The vacancy rate has been pretty stable over the past two years and is still well above the 1.4% average from 2010-19 #ausbiz

AI still have no impact upon Australian labour productivity, which was unchanged in the June quarter and hasn't meaningfully increased in years #ausbiz #auspol
