Australian Public Sector
The Australian Public Service (APS) cut more than 3600 jobs in the past year, on the sector says. Many of the jobs lost appear to be from the APS contract workforce.
The APS employed some 15,000 temporary staff in June, or 9.8% of employees. A year earlier it had some 18,000 non-ongoing staff, which was about 11.55% of the workforce.
