  • Australian Job Mobility Hits Record Low Amid Rising Economic Uncertainty
    May 24, 2026, 3:48 PM EDT. Australian job mobility has declined sharply, with only 7.7% of workers changing jobs in the year to February 2025, down from nearly 20% in 1989. Economic indicators reveal Australians are increasingly risk-averse, hesitant to move jobs, start businesses, or relocate between states. Factors include housing costs, the burden of large mortgages averaging $700,000, and a tightening labor market. Research from the e61 Institute highlights a fall in self-employment to a 20-year low of 14%, as more workers opt for wage jobs offering greater security through benefits like superannuation and paid leave. Business strategist Kate McCready attributes this shift to fears over job retention amid technological advances like AI and global uncertainties. The trend suggests Australians are 'stuck' in current roles, limiting labor market dynamism.
