GUIDE TO THE OCCUPATION MATRIX

Transcription

1 GUIDE TO THE OCCUPATION MATRIX How do I use the Matrix? Employment and training decisions should be made after consideration of all relevant issues, including aptitude, interests, expectations about pay and working conditions, training requirements and goals. The Matrix includes summary statistical information for around 350 occupations, which can provide useful background, but it needs to be read in conjunction with other occupational resources. Titles in the Matrix have been ed into broad categories based on field of work to assist users to better explore the labour market. There are 21 ings. Accounting, Banking and Financial Services Administration and Human Resources Advertising, Public Relations, Media and Arts Agriculture, Animal and Horticulture Automotive, Transport and Logistics Construction, Architecture and Design Education and Training Electrical and Electronics Engineers and Engineering Trades Executive and General Management Government, Defence and Protective Services Health and Community Services Hospitality, Food Services and Tourism Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Legal and Insurance Manufacturing Mining and Energy Personal Services Sales, Retail, Wholesale and Real Estate Science Sport and Recreation Some titles appear in more than one category. The relevant occupation major is listed in brackets after each occupation title. These refer to the s on pages 23 to 28 of the Australian Jobs publication.

2 Employment and Employment The employment information gives the total number of people employed in the occupationat November It includes both full-time and part-time workers. Employment change refers to the increase or decrease in employment, as well as the percentage change, over the five years to November Data Source: ABS, Labour Force, Department of Employment trend This column shows the proportion of workers in the occupation who work part-time. The information uses the ABS definition of part-time, which is working less than 35 hours per week. Data Source: ABS, Labour Force, annual averages of original data This shows the proportion of those employed in the occupation who are female. Data Source: ABS, Labour Force, annual averages of original data The median age is expressed in years for all workers (part-time and full-time). Half the workers are younger than this age and half are older. Data Source: ABS, Census of Population and Housing Unemployment Rate The unemployment rate is the number of unemployed persons as a percentage of the labour force (employed plus unemployed). The unemployment rate is presented in three categories: below average, average and above average. These categories are based on the occupation s average unemployment rate over 2017 relative to the average across all occupations. al unemployment rates do not reflect underutilised skills (such as an Accountant working as an Accounting Clerk). The occupational unemployment rate may be lower than the published national unemployment rate as it does not include job seekers who have never worked and those who have not worked full-time or part-time in the past two years. An occupation may have a high unemployment rate but also be experiencing shortages for particular skills. Data Source: ABS, Labour Force, annual averages of original data weekly earnings are before tax and are for full-time workers. The median earnings ranges are for all ages and levels of experience. They are indicative only and should not be used to determine what a worker will actually earn. Data are not available for all occupations. Key $ $950 Weekly $$ $951 to $1,100 $$$ $1,101 to $1,350 $$$$ $1,351 to $1,650 $$$$$ > $1,650 Data Source: ABS, Characteristics of Employment, 2015 No Post-school ification The figures are a percentage of those employed in the occupation who have not completed education other than pre-primary, primary or secondary education. Data Source: ABS, Census of Population and Housing Employment This presents the percentage change in employment expected over the five years to May A large percentage growth in a small occupation will yield fewer new jobs than low growth in large occupations. For example, 20% growth in an occupation that employs 300 people will create 60 new jobs. However, 5% growth in an occupation that employs 10,000 people will provide 500 new jobs. These estimates do not provide any guidance about the number of job seekers in each occupation. Although there may be a large number of new jobs, there may be strong applicant competition for available positions. Data Source: Department of Employment, Employment Projections
