The private sector was the main driver of wages growth over the quarter.

The average size of wage rises within the private sector was a notable factor influencing wages growth.

Jobs in the Construction (1.4%) and Professional, scientific and technical services (0.7%) industries were the main contributors to growth.

Sector wage growth

Private sector wages rose 2.7% over the year to June quarter 2022, the highest seasonally adjusted rate of growth for the sector since September 2013.

Public sector wages rose 2.4% over the year. This is the fourth consecutive quarter in which the rate of growth has increased, as adjustments to State and Federal wage policies in response to the pandemic continued to unwind.

Drivers of wage growth

A higher proportion of private sector jobs received a wage increase compared to recent June quarters.

The average size of wage rises in the private sector grew quickly over the last two quarters, and at 3.8% this quarter was the highest average increase recorded since June 2012. Demand for skilled jobs over the last 12 months has continued to build wage pressure across a broad range of industries and jobs, reflected in the increasing size of pay rises.

The average pay rise in June quarter 2022 was mostly driven by a combination of in-demand market sensitive jobs and enterprise agreements linked to the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Award jobs are expected to receive wage rises after June quarter 2022, as scheduled in the Fair Work Commission Annual Wage Review decision 2021-22.

Focusing on the market sensitive jobs in the private sector, a growing proportion of these recorded wages rises (17%) in June quarter 2022 compared to previous June quarters (13% in 2021 and 8% in 2020, the start of the pandemic). Looking at the time between pay rises, 74% of the jobs receiving a pay rise in June quarter 2022 recorded at least one rise in the last year. Compared to previous June quarters a significantly higher proportion of those jobs recorded more than one pay rise in the last 12 months.

Using price indexes

Price indexes in contracts

Price indexes published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) provide summary measures of the movements in various categories of prices over time. They are published primarily for use in Government economic analysis. Price indexes are also often used in contracts by businesses and government to adjust payments and/or charges to take account of changes in categories of prices (Indexation Clauses).

Use of Price Indexes in Contracts sets out a range of issues that should be taken into account by parties considering the inclusion of an Indexation Clause within a contract utilising an ABS published price index.
