City of Manningham
Recent arrivals - Employment status
In 2016, 3,354 City of Manningham residents who recently arrived from overseas were employed, of which 52.3% were working full time and 41.2% part time.
City of Manningham's employment statistics are an important indicator of socio-economic status.
For recent arrivals from overseas, being able to find work and participate in the local economy is a very important step to settling into Australia. High employment can indicate an engaged migrant community, or perhaps a large contingent on work-sponsored visas. A high level of unemployment or low participation rate (the percentage of the population in the labour force) can indicate a migrant community with difficulties adjusting to economic life in Australia, and perhaps with a reliance on government benefits.
Employment data should be looked at in conjunction with Age Structure and Qualification data for the recent arrivals.
Derived from the Census question:
'Last week did the person have a full time or part time job of any kind?'
