From kpmg.com: KPMG analysis reveals a rebound in part-time employment in Australia, with an additional 200,000 workers taking on part-time roles in 2024, raising the proportion of part-time workers to 30.9%.

This trend follows a decline during the pandemic and is largely driven by the growing health care sector and traditional industries like accommodation and food services.

Nearly 80% of part-time workers express satisfaction with their hours, although around 20% desire more work.
