Australia\u2019s remote posting share increased from 12.2% a year ago and is currently more than 3-times higher than pre-pandemic levels (January \/ February 2020).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the jobseeker side, 2.4% of Australian searches on the Indeed platform are for remote work, around 5.5-times higher than pre-pandemic levels, and represents 1-in-every-41 jobseeker searches. Now 2.4% of searches might not seem like a lot, but there are millions of different search terms jobseekers use to find a job. Outside of generic terms including \u201cfull-time\u201d or \u201cpart-time,\u201d searching directly for remote work is one of the most common ways Australian jobseekers engage with the Indeed platform.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXeQpHAPYimVovrDGY55vIFNRw_au5-_HNrL6xz9F7HuPWmC9Ot7GRbHocveCZ2P-TsVar44AgU-aBIPfc_M_PMXhrECEYHkn6yJfDhvaek60yZKRmOcTtw78M46B7auOu1iT7komUTzKLe4mX9Qq5s97ARU?key=gi-_-uA_MlmkKhtWd0nPMQ\" alt=\"A two-panel line graph titled \u201cAustralian remote jobs and searches on Indeed\u201d.

That\u2019s notable because around one-third of tech job postings explicitly mentioned remote work as of the end of August \u2013 well above the national average. The tech sector was one of the first industries to embrace remote work (well before the pandemic began), and it remains common throughout the industry today.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But after peaking at 11.1% of Australian job postings in September 2021, the tech sector now accounts for just 5.3% of postings. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/worklife\/article\/20240207-big-tech-layoffs-perks-cuts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tech sector over-invested and over-hired<\/a> in response to COVID-19, which abruptly made way for widespread layoffs and reduced hiring as the economic outlook soured.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXcN1VFQY3vZZSF_vlr_qPlV2wQMcYLSyvDu6mzZPiGFbjDsDyWcZVmHvkv9aheSDknKSTezPlpJuUbiyEAVXhgVpleeTGWfnnjco9PX7kr6Yxi7nFj_beKTLo_k_r_kgBXaKBB5yWvRzTkdhrXikAb22bU?key=gi-_-uA_MlmkKhtWd0nPMQ\" alt=\"A line graph titled &quot;Australian tech sector job postings\u201d.

However, a key question going forward is whether employers will stick with WFH or hybrid working arrangements as Australia\u2019s labour market cools. A historically tight labour market has given many employers, desperate to attract talent, little choice in whether to offer WFH or hybrid work options. But will employers be so accommodating if labour market conditions shift in their favour?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Early signs suggest they might, although we must acknowledge that the job market is still relatively tight by historical standards. Australia\u2019s unemployment rate increased by 0.5 percentage points over the past year, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rba.gov.au\/publications\/smp\/2024\/aug\/outlook.html#table-3-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">latest forecasts from the Reserve Bank of Australia<\/a> suggest it will continue to trend higher next year. And the nation\u2019s job vacancy rate has also declined by 1.0 percentage point from its peak in the September quarter 2022. Both measures suggest that the job market is shifting in favour of the employer, and yet there have been few signs of moderation in the frequency with which remote work is offered. If anything, it\u2019s moved in the other direction, with the remote posting share rising for almost 70% of occupations over the past year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In all likelihood, any reduction in WFH frequency attributable to weaker labour market conditions will prove uneven. Some organisations have fully embraced WFH, transforming their work structure and systems to accommodate remote work, leaving them committed to these arrangements and less likely to change course, regardless of labour market conditions. Other organisations reluctantly embraced WFH as a matter of operational necessity, and may happily return to more traditional work arrangements if labour market conditions allow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Methodology<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>A detailed methodology for Indeed\u2019s Hybrid\/Remote Tracker can be found<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiringlab.org\/2023\/06\/28\/methodology-remote-and-hybrid-jobs\/?isid=hiringlab_us&amp;ikw=hiringlab_us_2023%2F06%2F28%2Fus-remote-job-postings-still-seeing-growth%2F_textlink_https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hiringlab.org%2F2023%2F06%2F28%2Fmethodology-remote-and-hybrid-jobs%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em> here<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&nbsp;We identify job postings as open to remote work if the job title or description includes terms like \u201cwork from home\u201d, \u201ctelecommute\u201d, \u201cremote work\u201d or similar language, or if the location is explicitly listed as remote.
