Top Hiring Jobs

The top 10 (in descending order) most common roles filled in the March 2023 Quarter are: Observations:

• New Builder’s Labourer roles continue to dominate the market, increasing from 10.2% in the December 2022 Quarter to 12.7% in the March 2023 Quarter. It is expected this is a direct result of heightened building and trades activity which currently shows no signs of slowing. This is noteworthy when compared to the March 2022 Quarter where Builder’s Labourers accounted for only 5.2%.

• This increase creates significant demand for positions such as bricklayers, concreters and carpenters and the related apprenticeships.

• New Sales Assistant roles fell at a far greater rate than the total number of new employment instances. The 55.6% reduction in the relative number of new Sales Assistant roles shows the rise and fall of retail roles over the peak

Christmas period. The cyclical nature of peak season retail jobs hits women hardest as 67% of all Sales Assistant roles are held by women.
