The bar chart compares how the Australian workforce was divided among five categories of employment in 2001 and in 2008.
Overall, full-time jobs dominated the labour market in both years but lost ground, as did self-employment. The other three arrangements, namely part-time, casual and fixed-term work, all claimed a larger share of the workforce.
In 2001, 58.4% of Australian workers held full-time positions. Seven years later this had dropped by 6.3 percentage points to 52.1%, yet the figure was still roughly three times as high as that of any other category. Self-employment contracted as well, from 12.7% to 7.7%, which meant that it slipped from third to fourth place.
The remaining three types all expanded. Part-time work recorded the largest gain, climbing from 11.2% to 16.7%, while casual employment rose from 13.8% to 17.2% and kept its position as the second biggest category. Consequently, the gap between these two narrowed from 2.6 points to just 0.5. Fixed-term contracts remained the least common form of work throughout, but their share grew by more than half, from 3.9% to 6.3%, leaving them only 1.4 points behind self-employment by 2008.
