The staggering number of Australians who’ve recently changed jobs

One-in-10 workers changed jobs during the year to February, new data reveals.

It’s the highest number of job changes in a decade, as Australians took advantage of the tight labour market to take on new roles.

Senior economist and partner at KPMG, Dr Sarah Hunter, says it’s a sign of the times.

“The economy is doing really very well at the moment,” she told 3AW’s Ross and Russel.

“Lots of people have been able to get a job.

“It’s just really a sign they were able to find a better job for them — higher pay, a better fit, or what have you.”
