Job mobility in Australia rose to the highest level in a decade, with almost one in ten employed people switching jobs in the 12 months to February, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).

ABS head of labour statistics Bjorn Jarvis said job mobility had been trending downwards for decades before reaching a record low of 7.5 percent during the first year of the pandemic.
