Average weekly full-time earnings by occupation and age-group from 1978 to 2023 are available from www.whatjobspay.com.au, the sibling website. That website now brings together the Job Markets Australia earnings figures with those from the What Jobs Pay book.
The two series, which shared the same methodology, were joined to make the Job Markets Australia and What Jobs Pay earnings series in 2020. At the same time, when requests were received for average full time occupational earnings prior to 1988, the methodology was adjusted to permit estimation of those earnings for missing individual years and for the ten years between 1978 and 1987. The Sources page on www.whatjobspay.com.au has a fuller explanation and description of the combined earnings series.
The www.whatjobspay.com.au website also has average weekly full-time earnings for the longer-running What Jobs Pay series. Earnings statistics are available for all years from 1978 onwards.
The combined What Jobs Pay and Job Markets Australia series provide the most detailed current and historical full-time earnings by occupation and age in Australia. These have been produced using, where the data sources permitted, the same methodology and time-series, thereby ensuring consistency within a year, between years and over time. The methodology was adjusted to permit estimation of earnings for missing individual years and for the ten years before 1988, the year when the original methodology was first applied. The Sources page on the www.whatjobspay.com.au website has further details.
The combined series includes the 1,000 ANZSCO occupations and all major, minor and unit groups in the ANZSCO Dictionary, as well as extra age details. The fullest amount of occupational and age details are included from the source files held by Yorkcross Pty ltd.
