Average weekly full-time earnings by occupation and age-group from 1978 to 2024 are available from www.whatjobspay.com.au, the sibling website. That website brings together the Job Markets Australia earnings figures with those from the long-running What Jobs Pay book, covering the 1,000 plus ANZSCO occupations and all major, minor and unit groups in the ANZSCO Dictionary, as well as extra age details.
The What Jobs Pay and Job Markets Australia series provides the most detailed current and historical full-time earnings by occupation and age in Australia. These have been produced using the same methodology, thereby ensuring consistency within a year, between years and over time. To permit estimation of earnings for missing individual years and for the ten years before 1988, the year when the first was first researched, some adjustment of the methodology was necessary, as described in the What Jobs Pay and Job Markets Australia Earnings Series 2025 paper on the “Sources” page of this website.
