7.         Employment
Looking at the 10 years between 2006 and 2016, there has been a change in the employment
trends for Noosa Shire and these are depicted in Figure 12. Notwithstanding the fact that 2016
saw a significant number of respondents inadequately describe their industry of employment,
broadly, the most significant industries of employment for residents of the Shire were and
continue to be accommodation and food services, construction, education and training, health
care and social assistance and retail trade.
However, health care and social assistance has gone from being the fourth most significant
industry in 2006, to the third most significant industry in 2011 and has by 2016 taken over as the
most significant industry of employment, employing over 13% of the working resident population
in 2016.
Retail trade which was the most significant industry in 2006 and 2011 is by 2016 only the third
most significant industry.
Accommodation and Food Services have consistently been the second most significant industry
to the Shire’s resident workforce.
Construction dropped from third most significant in 2006 to fourth most significant in 2011 and
remains in fourth position in 2016.
