What active listings show
Trending up 10% a month
Xprt Dev tracks only roles that advertise pay, so every listing counted here states a salary.
Bar height shows listings per $10k of pay.
Employment mix[5]
How active roles describe their employment type.
Work arrangements[5]
Remote, hybrid and on-site labels in active listings. A listing advertised in more than one place counts once for each.
Advertising organisations[4]
Employers and recruitment agencies with the most active listings in this market. An agency may be recruiting for employers it does not name.
Figures are observed from active listings on Xprt Jobs: an inventory, not a census of the Australian market. The numbered notes explain how each measure is counted. Read the notes

By state and territory
Where in Australia the roles are.
Each page reads the same evidence for one state or territory. Listings resolve to the state they sit in, so these describe a whole state rather than any one city within it.
