Arts, Sports & Tourism Occupations
Employment growth was below average for this occupational group; employment levels declined as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic but have seen a recovery in more recent years. The share working part-time and aged 15-24 years were both above average and may be a contributing factor in the high volume of recent job hires for these roles. Consumer spending is an important determinant in the demand for many of these roles, and the recent global economic uncertainty may lead to reduced spending, despite rising real wages, which could have a knock-on effect on employment levels, at least in the short term.
