More Victorians, including those in Wyndham, are finding work and building careers as the state’s economy continues to grow.
Another 30,800 Victorians started work last month, the highest growth of all Australian states, according to the state government.
“A job provides security, stability and confidence and it’s fantastic that more Victorians are finding work that suits them and their circumstances,” treasurer Tim Pallas said.
“We’ve created the conditions where businesses are thriving and looking to grow, and that will continue to support more new jobs across the state.”
Victoria’s strong labour market is leading the nation, with new Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) figures showing that Victoria accounted for almost half of the 64,000 jobs generated in Australia last month.
The ABS figures also show that the proportion of Victorians in work remains at a near record high of 64.7 per cent.
