In the past few years, the pockets of Australian mechanics have risen a lot, and some weekly wages have risen by nearly 400 yuan. But in contrast, traditional high-income people such as IT and healthcare workers have seen their incomes fall dramatically.
In its Employee Income and Hours of Work report, statistics Australia noted that wage growth for technicians and small business technicians was the highest in the country, while wage growth for mechanics in the power and communications industries was even greater.
The deputy secretary of the Power Skilled Workers' Federation believes employers in Australia need to provide high wages to attract electrical technicians. "There is a great demand for skilled power technicians. Employers must pay $45 per hour in order to grab labor.
Industry analysts believe that small business technicians have seen a corresponding increase in salary due to the shortage of talents in the industry. If the overtime pay for plumbers is currently 51.3 yuan, it was 43.6 yuan in 2010.
According to the National Plumbing Industry Federation, "Since 2010, the number of plumber apprentices has gradually decreased, and the number of employees has also decreased. In addition, today's plumbers are also old, and they need to raise their pre-retirement expenses. "They need to expand their business for future sale or as a source of income."
In addition, the wages of masons, joiners and carpenters working overtime also soared to 50 yuan / hour, an increase of 22%.
Employees in the aviation and maritime industries are perhaps the unluckiest australian workers, as their salaries fall to the highest in the country and their annual incomes are miserable. IT professionals have also watched their pockets slowly deteriorate, and the annual salary of network support personnel has plummeted by 4500 yuan.
The salaries of medical staff are also difficult to escape the doom of austerity, health therapists are paid more than 4,000 yuan, and even the highest-paid individual practitioners have a slightly lower annual income of 156 yuan.
The President of the Medical Association of Australia believes that lower salaries for medical staff are mainly due to longer counselling hours, a trend that will continue as the population ages. "Our survey suggests that patients spend too much time in counseling, most likely because their problems become more complex, which may explain why medical staff earn less."
