New Data: Australia leads part-time work trend<\/h2>\n
Forty years ago, around one in 10 employees worked part-time. Today, more than a quarter (30.8%) of Australian workers fit this description, equating to 4,388,800 people. And the part-time employment rate keeps growing, having risen by 63.4% from 2006.<\/p>\n
To discover where Australia has the highest percentage of part-time workers, Reckon\u2019s team of experts analysed 15 years of census data from 2006 to 2021 to discover Australia\u2019s part-time working \u201chotspots\u201d. Let\u2019s dive in.<\/p>\n

More men have multiple jobs, including part-time work<\/h2>\n
Despite the fact that nearly twice as many Australian women work part-time compared to men (2.6 million women versus 1.4 million men), men have driven the largest increase (32.1%) in part-time employment. Now, one-fifth (21.4%) of men in the workforce pursue part-time work. The number of men holding multiple jobs has also increased by over 30% in the past five years.<\/span><\/p>\nThere may be a few reasons why. The rising cost of living is driving more men to take on multiple jobs, and the difficulty in finding full-time employment is increasing, driving individuals to seek multiple part-time positions to address their financial needs.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n

Gen Z makes up a quarter of Australia\u2019s part-time workforce<\/h2>\n
Generation Z and Young Millennials (aged 15-34) had the most significant increase in part-time employment. This age group is more likely to have more than one source of income. Almost a quarter (22.8%) of part-time workers are between 15 and 24 years old.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.reckon.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Age-graph.png” alt=”Government assistance packages.

Which Australian states have the most part-time workers?<\/h2>\n
Tasmania boasts the highest proportion of part-time workers (36.4%) and the highest increase in part-time workers (18.4%), thanks to its many part-time-friendly industries such as hospitality, retail, and healthcare. On the other hand, the Northern Territory has the lowest percentage of part-time workers (22.8%), as well as the lowest growth over the period (3.1%).<\/p>\n

The top 10 part-time work hotspots in Australia<\/h2>\n
Famous for its laid-back vibe and hippie roots, it\u2019s no surprise Byron Bay ranks first in Australia\u2019s part-time work hotspots. The small beachside town draws both Aussies and international visitors to the area in search of a higher quality of life and better work-life balance. This may explain why almost half of workers (48%) choose part-time employment. The town is also a hub of cafes, hotels, yoga studios, shops and the arts, all of which lend to part-time work. Byron Bay is also loved by digital nomads, who often opt for part-time work while embracing the coastal lifestyle.<\/p>\n
