Industry Employment Outlooks
provide detailed analysis of employment characteristics, trends and prospects by industry, and highlight specific sectors where job growth is the strongest. Specific issues highlighted in these outlooks include workforce ageing, employment share by gender, educational profile, weekly earnings, average hours worked, regional and occupational employment.
The left navigation bar also provides access to the Industry Employment Profiles (IEP).

The data are presented in easy to use, customised Excel workbooks and cover:
- recent employment trends
- projected job growth
- workforce ageing
- gender and full-time/part-time
- earnings
- educational profile
- employment by region and main occupations
The All Industries page provides a 'snapshot' of recent and projected employment for all broad industries in an easily comparable summary form.
