After the furore of US jobs data, let’s have a look at how #AUStriches are going.
ABS Labour Force - Public Vs Private Sector
- Private QoQ -516.2k, YoY -264.2k
- Public QoQ +499.0k, YoY +639.0k
These are INSANE numbers.
Australia’s labour force is only ~15 Million people in total and here we’re seeing US levels of Gov job printing. 
Wow.. what is public sector jobs as a %? I think US is around 7.5% up from 4% ~20 years ago
What are these public sector jobs? I’m guessing a large number may be related to NDIS?
Yep the bulk is NDIS related but if you’re keeping your eye on what’s happening, pretty much every area of Gov is expanding.
Shitloads of governance and “customer relations” roles - bureaucracy for the bureaucracy.
