Full-time jobs growth has slowed since 2013.
Slowing in full-time jobs growth is primarily due to job losses in the mining and manufacturing sectors with full-time job losses concentrated in the mining-dominated states of WA and Qld.
More recently though, full-time jobs growth has also reportedly stalled in NSW.
The latest employment data reported a loss of 44.8k full-time jobs in January, offset by a 58.3k rise in part-time jobs.
