Australia Jobs: Multiple Employment
19 August 2020 by News DeskAustralia Jobs: The Health Care and Social Assistance industries employ the most workers who maintain multiple jobs.
Almost four out of every five of these multi-job workers were female. The second concurrent job is the highest income job held at the same time as the first concurrent job.
The largest share of these was in the Administrative and support services (14.2%), with these being shared by male and female multiple job holders (55.6% males and 44.4% females).
In their first concurrent job, female multiple job holders were most likely to work in Health care and social assistance (240,000 female multiple job holders), Education and training (161,600), or Retail trade (127,500), while male multiple job holders were most likely to work in Administrative and support services (130,200 male multiple job holders), Construction (111,400), or Accommodation and food services (91,900).
Australia Jobs: Average Income
The median total employment income of multiple job holders was $40,500. Those with a maximum of two concurrent jobs recorded a median employment income of $41,400, while people with 3 jobs and 4 or more jobs had lower median employment incomes ($38,600 and $38,000 respectively).
The highest median employee incomes for first concurrent jobs were in Mining ($66,200), followed by Electricity, gas, water and waste services ($49,700). The Mining industry also recorded the highest median employee income for second jobs ($16,800), followed by Electricity, gas, water and waste services ($9,400).
