|
|
|
|
|
|
The Campbelltown local government area has seen a sharp decline in its unemployment rate, with a 3.4% decrease during the one year period from June 2017 to June 2018. The creation of new jobs has been attributed as the primary source for the unemployment rate decreasing from 8.3% to 4.9%.
The Campbelltown LGA ranked amongst the largest falls recorded for unemployment rates across Australia, comparable against other LGAs including Wollondilly (NSW), The Hills Shire (NSW), Mackay (QLD), Redland (QLD) and Wanneroo (WA).
Ingleburn Logistics Centre is making a contribution to the falling unemployment rate, with the creation of 650 new jobs for the region, with more jobs set to be created in the future as new tenants sign.
