flag Australia's job market grew modestly in Sept 2025, with record multiple jobs, but wage gains lagged inflation amid slowing growth.

flag In Australia's September 2025 quarter, employment rose modestly with a 0.6% quarterly increase in total jobs, driven by a 3.8% rise in secondary jobs, reaching a record 973,000 people holding multiple jobs—largely due to ongoing cost-of-living pressures. flag While unemployment remained low at 4.3%, job vacancies fell 1.9% quarter-on-quarter, and annual job growth slowed to 1.2%, the weakest since 2021. flag Average income rose 1.4% quarterly, but inflation has outpaced wage growth over the past five years. flag The public and private sectors both saw job growth, with education, health care, and hospitality leading secondary job gains. flag Revisions to data were made due to updated migration and economic benchmarks, and improved underemployment estimates.
