The jobs with the biggest pay rises
The jobs offering the biggest pay rises have been revealed, with some Aussie workers receiving a 6.2 per cent wage boost when starting a new job.
According to the SEEK data, advertised salaries on the platform increased by 4 per cent, year on year, and 0.4 per cent, month on month, in October.
SEEK senior economist Matt Cowgill said advertised salary growth was “treading water” and still lagged behind inflation.

“Although advertised salary growth remains solid, it’s not keeping up with the cost of living. It’s also not continuing to accelerate," Cowgill said.
The latest Wage Price Index showed wages were growing at an annual rate of 3.1 per cent, far behind the official rate of inflation at 7.3 per cent.
