As we enter 2016, global economic forces are bringing some distinctly challenging impacts for both Australia and New Zealand.

Å Stockmarket volatility, collapsing oil and

commodity prices, and an era of ultra low

interest rates are all combining to place new

demands on enterprises and employees.

In Australia’s case, the remarkable 25-year run

of economic growth looks like continuing, but

with different sources of income generation, as

we move from the construction to the export

phase of the resources boom.

In New Zealand’s case, a period of record

low dairy prices and drought have delivered

a different set of challenges, in an economy

that has been remarkably resilient and at the

forefront of economic reform.

Both Australia and New Zealand are well

placed to withstand any headwinds that flow

from global events, beyond our influence.

Both countries possess highly skilled, adaptive

and able workforces, and a business acumen

that matches the best in the world.

One of the notable developments is the

increasing integration of both Australia

and New Zealand with the countries of Asia,

and the extraordinary impact this has on

all our businesses.

We are also entering an exciting period of

innovation and entrepreneurialism, where

individuals can access the necessary tools to

develop products and services and ‘disrupt’

conventional business models.

Naturally, these forces shape the way we work,

the skills we need and the way we utilise them.

The 2016 Australia and New Zealand Salary

Guide is designed to shine a light on some

of the key issues that will influence work and

business over the year ahead.

The guide provides a detailed look at salary

levels across a range of occupations and roles

in key sectors, as well as an analysis of the

major trends that will influence hiring activity.

I am confident that this guide will assist you

after develop a better understanding of the

economic and employment conditions that

will underpin the coming twelve months, and

I trust that you find it a valuable addition to

your decision making process.

Introduction

Å 2015 was a relatively lacklustre year for

the local economy, notwithstanding official

figures which showed overall growth around

3 per cent.

The hope of a much improved 2016 took

an early reality check, with rising concerns

about China’s growth, further price falls in

commodities and oil, a bout of sharemarket

volatility, and the realisation that global growth

is likely to remain subdued.

It means that Australia’s resilience in the face

of economic headwinds is again likely to

be tested over the coming twelve months.

Adding to the mix is the starkly uneven

outlook across the states and territories, as the

impact of the resources downturn continues

to bite.

The national picture is dominated by the

downturn in mining-related investment and

lower prices for key exports. Both factors

are flowing through to reduced income and

spending. Investment in non-mining has

picked up some of the slack (especially in the

services sector) but remains fairly subdued.

There has been some surprise at the resilience

of the jobs market in the face of weaker

domestic activity. Employment grew by

2.7 per cent over the course of 2015 and

the unemployment rate ended the year at

5.8 per cent, well below the forecast peak

of 6.5 per cent.

Low interest rates and the falling Australian

dollar are helping to insulate much of the

workforce from external shocks. It has also

been easier for businesses to lift employment

in a climate of record low wages growth.

Domestic activity has also been boosted

by particularly strong growth in dwelling

commencements and investor appetite

for property that has lifted house prices,

particularly in Sydney and Melbourne.

Notwithstanding flat wages growth, there has

been healthy growth in retail sales and a big

jump in new car sales.

One of the key challenges is the decline in

business investment and the fragile state of

confidence that is showing up in business

surveys. It is more acute in Western Australia,

Queensland and South Australia, where

the end of the mining boom is having the

greatest impact.

This may tempt the Reserve Bank to cut

interest rates further in 2016, particularly in

light of low inflation, low oil prices and with

expectations that the heady property market

is coming off the boil.

There will be added focus on the federal

government’s policy agenda in an election

year, with Prime Minister Turnbull indicating

tax reform and encouraging innovation

and entrepreneurship.

Instead of roaring out of the blocks in 2016 as many expected, Australia has rather limped out, only to feel the backdraft of a turbulent set of global events.

Å Always hostage to the fortunes of the political cycle, Canberra’s economy grew by a below trend 1.4 per cent annual rate and the outlook for the year ahead is for a similar outcome.

Notwithstanding the flat official statistics, the local economy has been helped by a reasonably strong housing sector, good population growth and healthy private sector spending.

Jobs growth has also held up surprisingly well, with employment growth of about 2 per cent over the past year. The unemployment rate has risen steadily, but not disastrously, to touch 5.2 per cent, just below the national average.

Retail turnover in the ACT has scarcely grown over the past year, compared with modest growth across the rest of the country, however sales of new motor vehicles in the territory were up a robust 5 per cent over the year.

Wages growth in the ACT has been slower than anywhere in Australia – just 1.9 per cent in the private sector and 1.3 per cent in the public sector.

With a federal election to be held in 2016, many eyes will be on planned future budget cuts, although the worst of the pruning is probably over.

There is optimism regarding a number of local developments, including planned new infrastructure such as the light rail, and moves to build on growth sectors such as higher education, technology, tourism and health services.

The ACT economy has defied some of the gloomier predictions over the past year and held up remarkably well in the face of big cuts to many government services.

Å NSW grew at an annual rate of 2.4 per cent late in 2015, slightly ahead of the national average. Its backseat position during the resources boom has given way to an economic resurgence on the back of major road, rail and construction projects.

The Sydney Metro NorthWest rail, WestConnex motorway, the $6 billion Barangaroo development, Sydney Light Rail and the ongoing Pacific Highway upgrade have all lifted the tempo of construction activity.

In addition, a swathe of major commercial property developments in the Sydney CBD and Parramatta have added to the economic gloss and tightened supply among subcontractors.

Residential housing starts have remained strong and while demand for housing may have peaked in the current cycle, low interest rates and a strong employment market suggest price falls will be limited.

Consumer spending has been strong, although retail sales have eased back a little from mid 2015. The standout has been new motor vehicle sales, up 7.4 per cent over the year, reflecting the upbeat sentiment in recent consumer confidence surveys.

New South Wales has experienced strong employment growth and the country’s lowest unemployment rate, just above 5 per cent, but annual inflation at 2 per cent, is slightly higher than elsewhere in the country.

Average wages growth in the state ticked up late in 2015, although remain at a modest 2.5 per cent annual rate, perhaps not surprising given activity levels.

Private business capital expenditure is up about 10 per cent over the year, defying the trend nationally, suggesting a pipeline of projects that will sustain momentum over the coming year.

The New South Wales economy has forged ahead over the past year, fuelled by a government-funded infrastructure program that is stimulating construction and sustaining demand for skilled workers.

New South Wales

Page 7: Kelly Services Australia and New Zealand Salary Guide 2016

Å The massive investment in LNG infrastructure over recent years culminated in the first exports early in 2016 – the start of a trade that will become one of the state’s biggest over coming years.

However, the untimely collapse in the global oil price, on top of the weaker commodity prices, has dampened expected returns and focused attention on the scale of Queensland’s near-term policy challenge.

Queensland’s gross state product grew by a paltry 0.5 per cent in 2014-15, well below Australia’s 2.3 per cent GDP growth.

The Queensland Treasury has forecast that growth will strengthen to 4.5 per cent over each of the two following financial years, although that looks somewhat optimistic.

On the positive side, residential dwelling starts have lifted to a seven and a half year high and retail sales rose a healthy 3.5 per cent over the year.

Unemployment has dropped back from a high of 6.5 per cent in mid-2015 to 5.8 per cent in December.

One of the main factors in the current predicament is the weakness in business investment outside the resources sector.

Government infrastructure spending remains soft as a consequence of a difficult budgetary position. A bright spot will be the $3 billion Queen’s Wharf development in Brisbane and new building works associated with the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast.

Overseas tourism should also perform strongly on the back of rising interest from Asia, the popularity of working holidays and the weaker Australian currency.

The Queensland economy is being buffeted by the transition from the resources boom of the last decade, to a new phase of production and export, and the challenge of managing this economic downshift.

Queensland

Page 8: Kelly Services Australia and New Zealand Salary Guide 2016

Å The state is suffering from low growth and high unemployment. Gross state product in South Australia increased just 1.6 per cent in 2014-15 while unemployment at just over 7 per cent is the highest of any state, having peaked at 8.1 per cent in mid-2015.

The sluggish performance is mirrored in the winding down of production at Holden’s Elizabeth plant, ahead of its closure next year, and significant layoffs among energy producers.

Building activity is also subdued, with the value of work flat-lining and approvals in 2015 no higher than recorded in 2008.

The decline in resources activity that has hit other mining states is also impacting South Australia (though to a lesser degree), while the slump in commodity prices means there are few new investment projects and little infrastructure work in the pipeline.

Government efforts are being focused on easing the transition. The new Tonsley innovation district is expected to create hundreds of jobs in start-ups, research and STEM disciplines and attract significant business investment.

There is also much interest in a multi million dollar transformation plan for the northern Adelaide region that will encompass construction, ship building energy and the Arts.

The federal government has also committed to bring forward a major new naval ship building contract for the state, while fingers are crossed that the lucrative submarine contract might ultimately be landed for South Australia.

The decline in manufacturing and a weaker energy sector have placed added pressure on South Australia’s troubled economic performance.

Å Victoria recorded gross state product growth of 2.5 per cent in 2014-15, faster than NSW and a remarkable rebound from the languid position a year earlier.

Low interest rates, robust consumer spending, and rising housing prices have combined with a modest injection of government funded infrastructure to propel the economy at a time when other states are looking more sombre.

There has been solid jobs growth and the unemployment rate sits just below 6.0 per cent, down from 6.4 per cent mid-2015.

Residential building activity has been strong for several years and is still growing at a faster rate than anywhere in the country, although the heat has now started coming out of the sector.

The surge in building activity has spilled over into strong sales of household furnishings and whitegoods.

Jobs growth in the state has been robust and demand in building, construction and infrastructure particularly strong.

Engineering and commercial construction activity has been a key driver of the economic turnaround.

Roadworks, including the widening of the CityLink and Tullamarine freeways, and the Western Distributor road project have spurred activity. Major rail projects include the $6 billion Metro, underground rail tunnels and new CBD stations.

Within the commercial construction sector, a number of major office projects in the Melbourne CBD are underway or about to commence.

Business investment in the state has held up reasonably well and a series of surveys suggest that while there may be some cooling, particularly in housing and construction, the upbeat trend is set to continue for the year ahead.

It’s not quite an economic miracle, but the turnaround in Victoria’s economic fortunes in the space of 12 months has been startling.

Å Activity across the board has suffered as the construction phase of the boom ended, and commodity prices collapsed. It has had a cascading effect, starting with the major mining and energy producers, and extending to subcontractors, skilled trades, suppliers and retailers.

Scores of jobs have disappeared, wages growth has eased and the population boom is unwinding.

Despite this, the state still recorded a respectable 3.5 per cent increase in gross state product in 2014-15, but it is roughly a third of the rate in 2011-12, and is heavily reliant on export income.

The major resource projects that underpinned the boom are now in the production and export phase. Not only is it less labour-intensive, but the most recent collapse in oil and iron ore prices has cut revenue and led to some serious job shedding.

The weakness in commodity and oil prices means that business investment is likely to remain flat for some time.

Jobs growth will also be weaker. The unemployment rate has edged higher, touching 6.6 per cent in November last year, well above the pre-GFC rate of 3.7 per cent.

Outside the resources sector, there are some mixed signs. There is a flurry of mid-sized commercial developments underway around the Perth waterfront that is stimulating demand for construction, trades, hospitality and services.

The official forecast is for the state’s economy to slow to 2 per cent growth in 2015-16, the slowest since 1990-91, before heading back to 3.5 per cent in 2016-17.

Nowhere in Australia has the deflation of the resources boom hit harder than in the West.

Page 11: Kelly Services Australia and New Zealand Salary Guide 2016

Å The late year burst saw GDP rise by

0.9 per cent in the September quarter

and 2.9 per cent at an annual rate, erasing

fears that the country’s seven-year run

of expansion might be tapering off.

Indicators of activity for the December quarter

suggest that the pace of growth should

be sustained. The level of new dwellings

consented in December reached its highest

since mid-2004.

However, concerns about the country’s near

term prospects, particularly for agricultural

exports, have started to be taken a little more

seriously, and prompted a January credit

downgrade from the Fitch ratings agency.

The low prices for key exports, the impact of a

serious El Niño event, global growth worries,

especially in China, and financial market

volatility have all combined to take some of

the gloss off the country’s performance over

the last few years.

It’s a situation amply portrayed in the latest

inflation numbers, which have turned

negative, and well outside the Reserve Bank’s

1 – 3 per cent target range. This deflationary

scenario places the authorities in unfamiliar

economic territory with the risk of a

downward spiral.

The Reserve Bank is seen to be somewhat

resistant to further interest rate cuts, but

most believe it would have little hesitation

in acting should international and domestic

developments turn negative and force

their hand.

Business investment is at subdued levels. The

Canterbury rebuild is still a major influence

on the national economy although it is past

its peak and there is a need for alternative

sources of business investment.

The positive trend in residential building,

construction and infrastructure (particularly in

Auckland) and strong population growth are

the main forces driving the national economy.

Official forecasts suggest that the coming

quarter should see some lift in activity and

that growth could improve.

There was a strong positive sign that hiring

activity may be recovering, with the latest

jobs statistics showing a surprise 0.9 per cent

jump in employment in the December quarter

and a dramatic fall in unemployment, down

from 6 per cent to 5.3 per cent.

New Zealand – national overviewAfter a dip in activity mid-2015, the New Zealand economy sprang back to life late in the year, and looks set to perform at a reasonable clip in 2016.

11

Page 12: Kelly Services Australia and New Zealand Salary Guide 2016

Å With the city accounting for 35 per cent of the national economy, Auckland has remained buoyant, growing by an estimated 3.4 per cent in 2015.

While its sheer size insulates it to some degree from economic impacts elsewhere in New Zealand, it has suffered somewhat from the general downturn that enveloped the national economy in the first half of 2015.

The labour market grew by 2.9 per cent in 2015 and the unemployment rate fell to 5.4 per cent in December, in line with the large national drop. However, consumer confidence late last year recorded its lowest reading in three years.

The big drivers of activity have been strong net migration, sustained construction activity and surging housing prices.

In the December quarter alone, there were 23,000 more people who entered the Auckland employment market, 19,000 of those in the construction sector.

Average home prices have risen a startling 24 per cent in the last year and 52 per cent over the past three years, in stark contrast to the situation elsewhere in the country.

The ‘wealth effect’ of the Auckland housing spike has been good for retail and car sales, both recording around 10 per cent annual growth.

The low interest rate environment will be positive for ongoing residential and construction activity, as will wages growth, which is the lowest in a decade.

Plans are underway for a major new freight and transport link, the $1.8 billion East-West Connection, while the government is fast tracking plans for the long awaited City Rail Link.

A number of major commercial developments including the $350 million NDG Auckland Centre and the $680 million Commercial Bay tower will be a significant boost to local business activity.

New Zealand’s largest city has remained the powerhouse of the national economy, with strong population growth, housing, and retail activity all propelling economic and jobs growth.

Auckland

Page 13: Kelly Services Australia and New Zealand Salary Guide 2016

Christchurch

Å While the extent of the rebuild has passed its peak, the level of activity is by no means insignificant.

Figures from Statistics New Zealand show that in the year to December 2015, there were 2,021 earthquake-related building consents worth a total $945 million, down somewhat from 2,890 consents worth a total 1.03 billion for the corresponding period of 2014.

The pace of the recovery is matched by the upbeat mood as people and businesses return to the city. Few doubt the challenges that are still faced, but by any measure, the exercise represents an enormous national and local triumph.

One of the biggest projects is the University of Canterbury’s Regional Science and Innovation Centre, comprising research laboratories, teaching and support facilities valued at $134 million, to be followed by a second stage, College of Science, worth more than $260 million.

Consumer confidence in the region recently recorded the second highest score nationwide, and retail trade grew at a 4 per cent annual rate, while tourism to the region is picking up and guest-nights registered the third highest rate in the country.

Employment growth in the region has eased from 5 per cent in 2014 to 1.3 per in 2015 and the unemployment rate, although well below the national average, defied the trend late in 2015 and increased to 3.9 per cent.

The agricultural sector has been adversely impacted by poor dairy prices and the drought, and much will depend on how the El Niño plays out. The Reserve Bank points out that New Zealand’s last major drought in 2013 reduced national GDP by around ¾ per cent.

The Canterbury region will be exposed to any sustained downturn in dairy prices as dairy numbers have expanded significantly over recent years, however so too has an extensive irrigation program which may help insulate against the fallout.

The Canterbury region is continuing its long recovery from the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes and the enormous rebuild of Christchurch still dominates the local and national statistics.

13

Page 14: Kelly Services Australia and New Zealand Salary Guide 2016

Wellington

Å As the broader economy has seen growth slip during 2015, Wellington has borne more than its share of the turbulence.

The unemployment rate, at 5.7 per cent is just above the national average. Employment over the course of 2015 increased by 6,800

Growth in retail trade, new car sales and house prices are all below the national average.

Over the past year, Wellington’s population grew 1.1 per cent, employment edged up by 0.5 per cent, retail trade was up 2 per cent and new car sales up 3 per cent.

House price growth was a modest 2.3 per cent, well below the 9 per cent national average.

What might otherwise be regarded as a lacklustre showing was tempered by robust construction activity – up 12 per cent over the year.

Tourism in the capital is also weaker than elsewhere, with guest nights lower than a year ago.

While the overall performance is not altogether poor, it demonstrates the capital’s vulnerability to the vagaries of government, and highlights the need for a more diverse economic base – one of the key priorities of the local government and business lobbies.

The recent opening of new air routes from Wellington into the Asian region and initiatives to encourage IT and creative industries hold the promise of new arrivals and business start ups.

The nation’s capital has had to struggle to maintain economic momentum at a time when it has had few of the benefits of other major regions to sustain it in a difficult period.

ACCOUNTING AND FINANCE

The accounting sector is seeing steady

demand for professionals, particularly in those

non-mining sectors that are now prospering

– property, construction, tourism, education,

professional services and health.

Accountants experienced in payroll, billing,

financial analysis, cost control and financial

reporting are all in demand.

New regulatory requirements mean healthy

demand for compliance and audit specialists,

particularly those with experience across the

APAC region. The strength of construction,

infrastructure and finance on the eastern

seaboard is attracting those with skills in

treasury and capital management.

BANKING & FINANCIAL SERVICES

There is likely to be modest demand for

banking and financial services specialists

during 2016 in what is expected to be a

turbulent period for the sector. The volatile

sharemarket and local downsizing at a

number of banks, including Barclays, has

seen a swelling in the number of banking and

financial services professionals on the market.

There is increasing demand in the more

customer-focused and specialised areas of

wealth management, financial planning and

superannuation. A competitive interest rate

environment and ongoing strong demand

for housing has seen credit assessment

professionals in favour.

Salaries are tipped to remain flat, with general

economic conditions subdued, banks under

competitive pressure, and an abundance of

recent graduates and others with 2 – 5 years’

experience in the market.

CIVIL ENGINEERING AND INFRASTRUCTURE

While conditions have been subdued in much

of the engineering sector, infrastructure and

civil work has been a bright spot.

The value of road and rail projects across

the country is surging ahead and expected

to increase by some 10 per cent over the

coming year. Major transport initiatives by

federal, state and territory governments have

underpinned this boost.

There is also likely to be stronger demand for

telecommunications work, which is forecast

to expand by about 6 per cent, although

softer conditions are expected in other areas

including sewerage, drainage and water

supply (-7.7 per cent), electricity supply

(-8.7 per cent) and other civil projects

(-16.7 per cent).

CONSTRUCTION

It’s a tale of two cities – or regions – as far as

construction activity is concerned in Australia.

Engineering construction is expected to fall by

about 5 per cent in 2015-16 as mining related

investment declines.

Commercial office construction is at a heady

pace in Sydney and Melbourne, but is softer

elsewhere, particularly in Perth and Adelaide,

where vacancy rates are climbing.

Total commercial construction work is

expected to rise by only about 2 per cent in

2015-16 and by about 4 per cent the following

year. However private sector building work

will stand out, with multi-level apartments to

increase by some 14 per cent, largely centred

on Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

There is also a reasonably healthy pipeline

of investment in retail and tourism-related

projects such as accommodation, sport and

recreational facilities.

ARCHITECTURE

There is generally a more upbeat mood

among the architecture profession, with a

large number of construction projects planned

or underway across the states.

Major projects, including Sydney’s Barangaroo,

Brisbane’s Queen’s Wharf, Melbourne Park,

Perth Stadium and Riverside developments,

and a major new international hotel and

residential apartments in Adelaide highlight

the breadth of opportunities on the horizon.

Historic low vacancy rates in the Sydney

and Melbourne CBD and record dwelling

approvals point to a strong pipeline of

residential, office and tourism related facilities.

The low interest rate environment, combined

with strong population growth, and more

rigorous planning and sustainability

regulations by state governments suggest a

steady rate of activity over the year ahead.

MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL

Demand for electrical engineers is likely

to remain steady over the course of 2016,

reflecting the moderate employment growth

in the sector over the past five years. Mining

related work is easing, but opportunities

are opening up in areas including defence,

telecommunications, residential and

commercial property, infrastructure and

renewable energy.

Demand for mechanical engineering is

closely tied to manufacturing activity, which

has recently been weak, however there are

diverse openings in a range of specialised

areas including food, agribusiness, defence,

advanced manufacturing and the emerging

FMCG

The consumer and retail sector is maintaining

momentum, with retail sales up 0.6 per cent in

the December quarter. While not exuberant,

it is encouraging at a time when wages

growth in Australia is at its lowest on record.

The official figures show a remarkably strong

showing for supermarket and grocery sales,

up 0.8 per cent, and liquor retailing, up

1.4 per cent in seasonal terms in December.

This resilience suggests consumer confidence

and spending will hold up in 2016, meaning a

good outlook for employment. Adding to the

jobs optimism is the growing ‘clean, green’

focus, encompassing health and safety, county

of origin, genetic modification and organics.

This points to strong demand in the areas of

R&D, product marketing and regulatory affairs.

PHARMACEUTICAL

The diversity across Australia’s pharmaceutical

sector is evident from the relatively flat

conditions in the prescription and over-

the-counter (OTC) medicines sectors,

compared with the extraordinary growth in

complementary medicines and vitamin and

mineral supplements (VMS). China’s appetite

for Australian, quality controlled medicines

– especially complementary and VMS has

sparked an export-led boom in new

product development.

Government imposed constraints on the

Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme have seen

consumer expenditure on some large volume

medicines curbed, while ‘switch’ activity from

prescription to OTC has virtually stalled.

The lack of impetus for innovation in the

mainstream market means that much of the

focus for growth has turned to the Asian

export market, with demand for professionals

in R&D, marketing and regulatory affairs.

SALES AND MARKETING

While Australia continues to grow below

trend, the outlook for sales and marketing

remains below its best. However there is still

a healthy level of demand for experienced

professionals and enthusiastic graduates in

the corporate and government sector,

driven by new products and services, social

media innovation and an explosion of

digital platforms.

It’s no surprise that the best prospects

are in those sectors with growth and

competition – banking and financial services,

telecommunications, healthcare, food and

liquor, education services, pharmaceutical,

tourism, as well as across a wide range of

public sector services and programs.

In the face of a volatile global economy,

consumer demand and corporate profits are

holding up well locally, which should translate

into healthy marketing budgets and firm

prospects for employment.

ENVIRONMENT

The diverse environment sector is at the

forefront of much policy and program activity,

which bodes well for scientists, specialists and

others working across government, industry,

academia, and as consultants.

Last November’s Paris climate summit, with

its agreement on global warming, together

with Australia’s renewable energy target,

have underpinned the national shift away

from fossil fuels into renewable energy.

Domestically, it is notable that major

energy companies are leading the move

to more sustainable business, spurring

something of a chain reaction across supply

chains and in areas such as manufacturing,

transport and banking.

This is propelling demand for environmental

specialists across a broad spectrum,

as organisations deal with the growing

operational, financial and regulatory impacts,

as well as the R&D, associated with this

landmark shift.

GOVERNMENT SOLUTIONS

Page 36: Kelly Services Australia and New Zealand Salary Guide 2016

AUSTRALIAN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

Employment at the Commonwealth level has

been undergoing significant change over

recent years amid a tight budgetary situation.

The total number of Commonwealth

government employees fell by 4.5 per cent in

2014-15 to 235,300, under the impact of fiscal

constraint across all government departments

and agencies. That trend is continuing, as

managers look for savings and efficiency, and

outsource non-core functions.

While most areas of government have been

scaled back, health, infrastructure and defence

stand out as areas that are continuing to grow

modestly. Wage increases of about 2 per cent

are likely from a range of enterprise bargaining

agreements, coming at a time of record low

wages growth across the wider economy.

AUSTRALIAN STATE GOVERNMENT

The economic and jobs outlook for state

government runs along a clear fault line

– those that have been hit by the mining

downturn, and those that have been

insulated from it.

The big mining states – Western Australia,

Queensland, and to a lesser extent

South Australia – have all seen their balance

sheets dry up, with a flow-on effect for

public sector hiring.

New South Wales and Victoria have avoided

the resources dip, and have benefitted from

surging housing prices and stamp duties. In

the case of New South Wales, electricity asset

sales have swollen the war chest.

Total state government employee numbers

across Australia remained virtually steady in

2014-15. Front line staff, including nurses,

prison officers, doctors and police officers will

largely be insulated but non-core areas face

cuts. Wage rises will be kept to a minimum.

NEW ZEALAND GOVERNMENT

Employment prospects in the public sector are

likely to reflect the steady pattern of hiring of

the last few years.

There is no plan for extensive recruitment,

but no suggestion of a swing in the

other direction.

There are good prospects for teachers, police

and policy analysts, although fire fighters are

in excess supply. There is also solid demand

in the area of IT, data analysis, marketing and

public relations.

The softer economic conditions that hit during

2015 appear to be easing, and demand for

services and front line staff will improve. Public

sector wages growth will be subdued, with

minimal increases in excess of inflation.
