Above is the Share of projected employment growth to November 2018 by Industry.

The Department of Employment projects employment to grow by 838,100 (or 7.2 per cent) over the five years to November 2018. Employment is projected to grow in 16 of the 19 broad industries over the five years to November 2018, with declines in employment projected for Manufacturing, Mining and Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing. 

Health Care and Social Assistance is projected to make the largest contribution to employment growth (increasing by 229,400), followed by Education and Training (118,800), Retail Trade (98,200), Professional, Scientific and Technical Services (88,700) and Construction (83,500). Together, these five industries are projected to provide more than two thirds of the employment growth to November 2018.
