Talent in transit: occupation and industry mobility in Australia

Productivity Commission staff working paper

This paper finds that occupation and industry changes are common in Australia and appear to support productivity, with workers often moving in response to changing circumstances or to find better job matches.

An earlier version of the paper was presented at the ABS | RBA conference in June 2024. 

Staff working papers are prepared and authored by individual staff to advance understanding of issues on the Commission’s supporting research program.
