Jobs & Industry in Thirroul
Work across the area — who is in the labour force, in which industries and jobs.
A gap of 3.6 percentage points separates the proportion of full-time workers in Thirroul from the national figure. While more adults here are working or looking for work than in the typical Australian suburb, a smaller share of the local workforce holds full-time roles. This creates a local job market that is more active but less focused on full-time employment than the broader country.
