Industry sector of employment

More Division 10 residents worked in health care and social assistance than any other industry in 2021.

Division 10's industry statistics identify the industry sectors in which the residents work (which may be within the residing area or elsewhere). This will be influenced by the skill base and socio-economic status of the residents as well as the industries and employment opportunities present in the region.
