PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 18 AUGUST 2015
3.2 Employment
Employment trends in Noosa reflect our ageing population, national trends in health care,
and a strong tourism sector. Increased employment in professional, scientific and technical
services signals growth in ‘smart’ - high value industry sectors. This is also a national trend
that could be exploited.
Three of the top five employment sectors in Noosa are primarily geared towards population
and tourism driven industry sectors. These five sectors provide 60% of all local jobs:
Retail trade employs 16% of the total workforce, which is 50% higher than the
Australian average.
Accommodation and foods services employ 14% of the total workforce which is double
the Australian average.
Health care and social assistance employs 12% of the total workforce.
Education and training employs 9% of the total workforce, and
Construction employs 8% of the total workforce.
