Around 1.1 million Australians changed jobs over the past year, according to data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, with a total of 2.4 million starting their current job.
Using Indeed’s data, we tracked career pathways based on the jobs that users record on their resumes, identifying where talent comes from and where it goes. Every month, around 1 in 45 Australian users on Indeed with an uploaded resume change jobs. Some occupations find it much easier than others to attract external talent. Similarly, workers are more loyal to some occupations than to others. Both of these trends highlight that Australian job switching trends are similar to those in the United States.
The interactive plot below shows the inflow and outflow rates of Indeed occupational categories. The right side of each chart represents the category into which people switched during the years from 2022 to 2024. The left side represents their previous occupational categories.
