Job opportunities
Broad opportunities for employment and well-paid, secure jobs
Metrics
- Unemployment rate
- Long-term unemployment rate
- Labour force underutilisation rate (hours-based)
Why this matters
Well-paid, secure jobs provide much more than a source of income. They open up opportunities to broaden and deepen relationships, are a source of self-esteem and can underpin a sense of purpose.
Widespread access to employment is the key to a healthy, happy and prosperous society.
Unemployment is a measure that captures the extent to which people looking for work, can get it. The duration of unemployment also matters for wellbeing. Underutilisation includes those who are currently working but wish to work more hours.
Progress
Unemployment rate
In seasonally adjusted terms, in July 2024, the unemployment rate was 4.2% (4.5% for men and 3.9% for women).
While the unemployment rate has risen slightly from a low of 3.5% in July 2022, it is still at very low levels compared with rates over the past 20 years.
