Changes in the seasonally adjusted filled jobs for July 2021 (compared with June 2021) were:
- all industries – up 0.8 percent (17,273 jobs)
- primary industries – down 1.0 percent (1,094 jobs)
- goods-producing industries – up 1.3 percent (5,631 jobs)
- service industries – up 0.7 percent (11,715 jobs).
The best part of that is an increase in jobs in goods-producing industries. Hopefully it means making things to sell here instead of buying it from countries with low wage labour, heavy levels of pollution and oppressive governments.
Manufacturing industries – long term, secure, employment, collective bargaining for wages and conditions, overtime, production bonuses – opportunity for people to save and buy property. Stable families in comfortable homes- low crime and good health.
Service industries – uber drivers, burger flippers, telephone sales, door sales – insecure, short term, low wage employment that keeps people in poverty – overcrowding in uncomfortable homes – high crime and poor health.
Primary industry decline – Trend coninues due to mechanisation and end of extractive industry.
