Aussie workers have been suffering from stagnant wages growth for years but, with the jobless rate reaching historic lows andbusinesses offering major incentivesfor new workers, does your salary still stack up?
New data from SEEK revealed the difference inwages for different industries- and even at different levels - to give Aussies the clearest picture yet of how their paycheque compared to their co-workers.
The highest-paid workers were those in the information and technology sector, with the average income coming in at $130,121 a year.
On the other end of the spectrum, those working in retail earned the least, with the average salary around $58,438.
Unsurprisingly, the top end was dominated by jobs in mining, consulting, engineering, government and the legal industry.
In the bottom were jobs in hospitality, call centres, administration and manufacturing.
Here’s a look at how your salary compares to others in your industry.
