Illness or disability is another significant barrier, while the search for roles with suitable hours shows just how many people are looking for work that fits around the rest of their lives.<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row make_equal=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;40px|||||&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; pac_dcm_is_carousel=&#8221;on&#8221; pac_dcm_carousel_row_items=&#8221;1&#8243; pac_dcm_carousel_spacing=&#8221;0px|0px|0px|0px|true|true&#8221; pac_dcm_carousel_specific_module_num=&#8221;0&#8243; pac_dcm_carousel_navigation_arrows_conditional=&#8221;opacity&#8221; pac_dcm_carousel_row_items_autoplay=&#8221;off&#8221; pac_dcm_carousel_navigation_arrows_position=&#8221;sides_inset&#8221; pac_dcm_carousel_navigation_arrows_background_color=&#8221;#ff5447&#8243; pac_dcm_carousel_navigation_arrows_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; pac_dcm_carousel_navigation_arrows_border_rad=&#8221;on|128px|128px|128px|128px&#8221; pac_dcm_carousel_navigation_prev_icon=&#8221;&#x34;||divi||400&#8243; pac_dcm_carousel_navigation_prev_horizontal=&#8221;22px&#8221; pac_dcm_carousel_navigation_next_icon=&#8221;&#x35;||divi||400&#8243; pac_dcm_carousel_navigation_next_horizontal=&#8221;22px&#8221; pac_dcm_carousel_navigation_dots=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_blurb alt=&#8221;Invoice Template&#8221; content_max_width=&#8221;1100px&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Table&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;84c72f0b-4b93-4a99-a19d-fc01dad3752f&#8221; header_level=&#8221;h2&#8243; header_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; header_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; header_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; body_text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; body_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#f3f2f6&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;35px|35px|35px|35px|true|true&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|15px|15px|15px|15px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<iframe id=\"datawrapper-chart-r5W7j\" style=\"width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;\" title=\"The top 10 employment difficulties in 2025\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/r5W7j\/2\/\" height=\"548\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" aria-label=\"Table\" data-external=\"1\"><\/iframe><script type=\"text\/javascript\">!function(){\"use strict\";window.addEventListener(\"message\",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll(\"iframe\");for(var t in a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"][t]+\"px\";r.style.height=d}}})}();\n<\/script><br \/>\n[\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; module_id=&#8221;difficulties&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#f7f7f7&#8243; da_disable_devices=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; da_is_popup=&#8221;off&#8221; da_exit_intent=&#8221;off&#8221; da_has_close=&#8221;on&#8221; da_alt_close=&#8221;off&#8221; da_dark_close=&#8221;off&#8221; da_not_modal=&#8221;on&#8221; da_is_singular=&#8221;off&#8221; da_with_loader=&#8221;off&#8221; da_has_shadow=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_row module_id=&#8221;industries&#8221; module_class=&#8221;industries-btns&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;95%&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; pac_dcm_carousel_specific_module_num=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Employment difficulties by age group&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Employment difficulties by age group<\/h2>\n<p>Job seekers encounter different challenges at various stages of their careers.

For older Australians, underemployment tends to appear in both service and professional roles, reflecting the ongoing struggle to find work that matches skills and experience later in life.<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row make_equal=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_enable_color=&#8221;off&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||||&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_enable_color=&#8221;off&#8221; pac_dcm_is_carousel=&#8221;on&#8221; pac_dcm_carousel_row_items=&#8221;1&#8243; pac_dcm_carousel_spacing=&#8221;0px|0px|0px|0px|true|true&#8221; pac_dcm_carousel_specific_module_num=&#8221;0&#8243; pac_dcm_carousel_navigation_arrows_conditional=&#8221;opacity&#8221; pac_dcm_carousel_row_items_autoplay=&#8221;off&#8221; pac_dcm_carousel_navigation_arrows_position=&#8221;sides_inset&#8221; pac_dcm_carousel_navigation_arrows_background_color=&#8221;#ff5447&#8243; pac_dcm_carousel_navigation_arrows_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; pac_dcm_carousel_navigation_arrows_border_rad=&#8221;on|128px|128px|128px|128px&#8221; pac_dcm_carousel_navigation_prev_icon=&#8221;&#x34;||divi||400&#8243; pac_dcm_carousel_navigation_prev_horizontal=&#8221;22px&#8221; pac_dcm_carousel_navigation_next_icon=&#8221;&#x35;||divi||400&#8243; pac_dcm_carousel_navigation_next_horizontal=&#8221;22px&#8221; pac_dcm_carousel_navigation_dots=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_blurb alt=&#8221;Invoice Template&#8221; content_max_width=&#8221;1100px&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Table&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;84c72f0b-4b93-4a99-a19d-fc01dad3752f&#8221; header_level=&#8221;h2&#8243; header_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; header_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; header_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; body_text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; body_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;40px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;35px|35px|35px|35px|true|true&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|15px|15px|15px|15px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<iframe id=\"datawrapper-chart-vfPnm\" style=\"width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;\" title=\"How many Aussies are underemployed: 15-24 Age Range\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/vfPnm\/5\/\" height=\"773\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" aria-label=\"Table\" data-external=\"1\"><\/iframe><script type=\"text\/javascript\">!function(){\"use strict\";window.addEventListener(\"message\",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll(\"iframe\");for(var t in a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"][t]+\"px\";r.style.height=d}}})}();\n<\/script>[\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; module_id=&#8221;careers&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; da_disable_devices=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; da_is_popup=&#8221;off&#8221; da_exit_intent=&#8221;off&#8221; da_has_close=&#8221;on&#8221; da_alt_close=&#8221;off&#8221; da_dark_close=&#8221;off&#8221; da_not_modal=&#8221;on&#8221; da_is_singular=&#8221;off&#8221; da_with_loader=&#8221;off&#8221; da_has_shadow=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_row module_id=&#8221;cities&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; pac_dcm_carousel_specific_module_num=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;What industries are people leaving and entering most?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">What industries are people leaving and entering most?<\/h2>\n<p>In 2025, young Australians often start their careers in casual-heavy sectors like retail and hospitality, though many in their early 20s move on in search of more career-focused opportunities.

Even beyond 65, retirement remains common, but more people are continuing to work past traditional retirement age, particularly men, reflecting changing financial needs, longer life expectancy, and evolving attitudes toward work later in life.<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row make_equal=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;40px|||||&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; pac_dcm_is_carousel=&#8221;on&#8221; pac_dcm_carousel_row_items=&#8221;1&#8243; pac_dcm_carousel_spacing=&#8221;0px|0px|0px|0px|true|true&#8221; pac_dcm_carousel_specific_module_num=&#8221;0&#8243; pac_dcm_carousel_navigation_arrows_conditional=&#8221;opacity&#8221; pac_dcm_carousel_row_items_autoplay=&#8221;off&#8221; pac_dcm_carousel_navigation_arrows_position=&#8221;sides_inset&#8221; pac_dcm_carousel_navigation_arrows_background_color=&#8221;#ff5447&#8243; pac_dcm_carousel_navigation_arrows_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; pac_dcm_carousel_navigation_arrows_border_rad=&#8221;on|128px|128px|128px|128px&#8221; pac_dcm_carousel_navigation_prev_icon=&#8221;&#x34;||divi||400&#8243; pac_dcm_carousel_navigation_prev_horizontal=&#8221;22px&#8221; pac_dcm_carousel_navigation_next_icon=&#8221;&#x35;||divi||400&#8243; pac_dcm_carousel_navigation_next_horizontal=&#8221;22px&#8221; pac_dcm_carousel_navigation_dots=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_blurb alt=&#8221;Invoice Template&#8221; content_max_width=&#8221;1100px&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Table&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;84c72f0b-4b93-4a99-a19d-fc01dad3752f&#8221; header_level=&#8221;h2&#8243; header_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; header_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; header_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; body_text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; body_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#f3f2f6&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;35px|35px|35px|35px|true|true&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|15px|15px|15px|15px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><iframe id=\"datawrapper-chart-XQRGV\" style=\"width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;\" title=\"Australian retirement statistics: 2025\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/XQRGV\/4\/\" height=\"438\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" aria-label=\"Table\" data-external=\"1\"><\/iframe><script type=\"text\/javascript\">window.addEventListener(\"message\",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll(\"iframe\");for(var t in a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"][t]+\"px\";r.style.height=d}}});<\/script><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#f7f7f7&#8243; da_disable_devices=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; da_is_popup=&#8221;off&#8221; da_exit_intent=&#8221;off&#8221; da_has_close=&#8221;on&#8221; da_alt_close=&#8221;off&#8221; da_dark_close=&#8221;off&#8221; da_not_modal=&#8221;on&#8221; da_is_singular=&#8221;off&#8221; da_with_loader=&#8221;off&#8221; da_has_shadow=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_row module_id=&#8221;tcs&#8221; module_class=&#8221;faqs&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; pac_dcm_carousel_specific_module_num=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;ABOUT THE DATA&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|15px|15px|15px|15px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>About the data<\/h2>\n<p>Reckon has undertaken an analysis of the latest available data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) to explore the challenges faced by different generations in the Australian workforce. The primary focus of this campaign is to highlight the difficulties encountered by the older demographic of workers and to compare these with the experiences of other age groups to understand how these challenges vary across generations.<\/p>\n<p>The analysis delves into several key areas to provide a comprehensive picture of the generational disparity in the workforce. We examine the top difficulties workers face, the rates of retrenchment and job loss, underemployment, and the various barriers to work participation. Furthermore, we look at the difficulties people encounter when trying to find work, the number of job offers received, and the trends in occupations and industries that different generations are leaving or entering. All these factors are analyzed by industry, occupation, gender, and age group and are tracked over time to identify emerging trends.<\/p>\n<p>The data for this analysis is primarily sourced from the Australian Bureau of Statistics&#8217; Participation, Job Search and Mobility Survey from February 2025. This dataset allows for a time-series comparison, with data dating back to 2015.<\/p>\n<p>To enrich our report and provide a fuller context, this primary data is supplemented by data and reports from respected industry bodies and government publications, including Jobs and Skills Australia, The Australian Seniors&#8217; Gen Seen Report, and The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare.<\/p>\n<p>Please note that the data analysis includes a wide range of factors affecting employment, and while every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, some data points may be subject to the limitations and methodologies of the original source providers.<\/p>\n<h3>Additional Assumptions and Notes on The Data<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Barriers to work participation was assessed by looking at people who responded to at least one of:<\/li>\n<li>Caring for children affected participation last year<\/li>\n<li>Caring for ill or elderly person affected participation last year<\/li>\n<li>Cultural background, language difficulties or visa restrictions affected participation last year<\/li>\n<li>Family considerations affected participation last year<\/li>\n<li>Illness, injury or disability affected participation last year<\/li>\n<li>Pregnancy or child under 2 years affected participation last year<\/li>\n<li>Studying or training affected participation last year<\/li>\n<li>Working in an unpaid trainee job affected participation last year<\/li>\n<li>Unpaid voluntary work affected participation last year<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Percentages were initially calculated against the total demographic group. However, to generate more meaningful insights, responses that were essentially the opposite of the subject under analysis (e.g., for \u201cMain Difficulties in Finding Work,\u201d responses such as &#8220;Did not look for work\u201d or \u201cDid not face a difficulty\u201d) were excluded from the denominator. This adjustment was necessary because these values tended to dominate the results, obscuring the true distribution of relevant difficulties.<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_toggle][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#0a004a&#8221; da_disable_devices=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; da_is_popup=&#8221;off&#8221; da_exit_intent=&#8221;off&#8221; da_has_close=&#8221;on&#8221; da_alt_close=&#8221;off&#8221; da_dark_close=&#8221;off&#8221; da_not_modal=&#8221;on&#8221; da_is_singular=&#8221;off&#8221; da_with_loader=&#8221;off&#8221; da_has_shadow=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||0px||true|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||true|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; pac_dcm_carousel_specific_module_num=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;||on||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; background_enable_color=&#8221;off&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;50px|50px|50px|50px|true|true&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|27px|27px|27px|27px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Alex Alexandrou, General Manager of Operations &amp; Revenue at Reckon comments:<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>\u201cIt\u2019s clear that the job market in 2025 is throwing up very different challenges depending on your age. For younger workers, the biggest roadblock is still experience, followed closely by competition (13.4%). It\u2019s that familiar catch-22: you need a job to get experience, but can\u2019t land a job without it! Add in the fact that so many entry-level roles are casual or part-time, and it\u2019s no wonder younger Australians are finding it tough to get a stable start, particularly with the rising cost of living.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>There is a huge opportunity for businesses to open up more genuine entry points into the workforce. That means apprenticeships, structured internships and hiring practices that focus on skills and providing guidance instead of long CVs. For older Australians, the focus has to be on tackling age bias and building more flexible, supportive pathways that allow experience to shine. With retirement ages creeping higher, we can\u2019t afford to sideline people who still have plenty to offer. If we can get better at supporting both early careers and later careers, we\u2019ll build a stronger, fairer workforce that makes the most of every generation.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.reckon.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Alex-Alexandrou-.png&#8221; alt=&#8221;Alex Alexandrou, General Manager of Operations&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Alex Alexandrou, General Manager of Operations &#038; Revenue&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;||on||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; background_enable_color=&#8221;off&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;50px|50px|50px|50px|true|true&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|27px|27px|27px|27px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211; Alex Alexandrou, General Manager of Operations &amp; Revenue<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; da_disable_devices=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; da_is_popup=&#8221;off&#8221; da_exit_intent=&#8221;off&#8221; da_has_close=&#8221;on&#8221; da_alt_close=&#8221;off&#8221; da_dark_close=&#8221;off&#8221; da_not_modal=&#8221;on&#8221; da_is_singular=&#8221;off&#8221; da_with_loader=&#8221;off&#8221; da_has_shadow=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; make_equal=&#8221;on&#8221; module_id=&#8221;download&#8221; module_class=&#8221;reverse-on-mobile&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.1&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||40px|false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;|||0px|false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221; margin-top:auto;|| margin-bottom:auto;&#8221; pac_dcm_carousel_specific_module_num=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.reckon.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Boomers-vs-zoomers-ebook-download.png&#8221; alt=&#8221;Boomers vs zoomers ebook cover&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Boomers Vs Zoomers Ebook Download&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; pac_dcm_carousel_specific_module_num=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Download the full report&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Download the full report<\/h2>\n<p>Looking for the right career for you?
