New South Wales has competitive salary rates for skilled workers, especially for middle and senior management roles. Salary rates across a number of industries and job types are comparable with other capital cities in Australia.

Capabilities in high demand fields such as finance, information technology, engineering, science and manufacturing, as well as support areas such as marketing and sales, are particular strengths of the State’s labour force.

Furthermore, highly skilled workers reside and work in regional areas of the State, and the regions offer a cost-effective alternative to companies not tied to Sydney, as well as a high quality of life and lower cost of living.
