The Westpac-McDermott-Miller survey shows employment confidence has dropped to its lowest level since September 2020. This decline is driven by concerns regarding job security, fewer job opportunities, and slowing wage growth. While national sentiment has soured, results varied across regions, with only four of 11 regions recording a fall.
