The key changes over the pest 12 months ...


The tourism downturn is evident in the data ...


The decline in the agriculture sector appears arrested ...


Construction appears to be turning down ...


Employment in the education sector is plateauing ...


Are we seeing the start of a downturn in financial and insurance services?


Health care and social services (our largest employment sector) continues its fairly consistent and relentless growth (well in trend terms) ...

Conversely, employment in the mining sector is skyrocketing ...


Retail employment is in a downturn phase ...

And employment in the transport postal and warehousing sector is turning down ...
