Manufacturing and hospitality jobs struggling out of virus – Sydney Morning Herald
More than 170,000 jobs have disappeared from manufacturing and hospitality since the pandemic started, but areas like agriculture and mining are growing.
The manufacturing and hospitality sectors have suffered the deepest scars from the coronavirus recession with job numbers in both still well short of their pre-virus levels.
Data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics on Wednesday reveals there is now a record low 848,100 people working in manufacturing, down 74,300 or more than 8 per cent since February. For the first time, in original terms, there are now fewer than 600,000 men in manufacturing.
