The latest research by Seek shows advertised salaries rose by 0.4 per cent in July, slightly higher than the rises across April to June.

Over the year, advertised salaries rose by 4.6 per cent, up from 4.5 per cent in the year to June.

“Advertised salary growth remains solid,” Seek senior economist Matt Cowgill said.

“The Fair Work Commission’s decision to raise award wages by 5.75 per cent was likely a contributing factor here – but it’s notable that the most award-reliant industries, such as hospitality and tourism, didn’t see particularly strong growth.”

Queensland advertised salaries were up 5.3 per cent over the year, following a growth trend that began in 2021.

The territories are lagging, with 3.7 per cent advertised salary growth in the Australian Capital Territory and 2.5 per cent in the Northern Territory.

The largest rises by industry were in insurance and superannuation (up 9.2 per cent), community services (6.7 per cent) and trades and services (5.9 per cent).

The slowest growth was recorded in government (0.9 per cent year-on-year), continuing a trend of slow public sector growth.

Meanwhile, Reserve Bank deputy governor Michele Bullock will provide some insight into the key economic issue of climate change when she delivers a speech in Canberra on Thursday.

Ms Bullock will take over as head of the central bank after governor Philip Lowe steps down on September 17.

The Intergenerational Report released last week predicted higher temperatures could reduce economic output over the next four decades by up to $423 billion in today’s dollars.
