New data from jobs advertiser Seek has revealed the industries in Australia that have had the largest pay increases in the past 12 months.
Analysing data on advertised jobs, Seek found that on average, wages rose 4.5 per cent from January 2023 to January 2024.
Here are the industries that did the best.
Employees in the automobile, manufacturing and engineering, and life sciences sectors in India are projected to see the highest salary increases this year, a survey by HR consulting firm Mercer said.
When it comes to the top 10 jobs with the biggest pay rises in Australia, entry level general project engineering, senior customer relationship management and entry-level IT software development and operations workers come in on top — at 19 per cent, 18 per cent and 18 per cent rises, respectively.
That’s according to data by global consultancy firm Mercer, said the Daily Mail, citing a report from the Australian Financial Review.
In addition, employers have been forced to raise salary offers due to a tight labour market, with base salaries hiked up by a median of 4 per cent, one per cent higher than expected.
