Administrative & Secretarial Occupations
Government administrative occupations have been the primary driver of the strong employment growth for this occupational group over the five-year period, followed by other administrators; the remaining occupations have seen little growth, or indeed declines, in employment levels over the same period. The relatively high level of recent job hires for many occupations suggests that job churn is a significant factor for these roles. In addition, the higher than average share who are aged 55 years and older indicates that job opportunities will continue to arise for replacement demand, even if employment levels are not growing. Skills mismatches may also be a feature of this occupational group with almost half holding third level qualifications.
