What the data indicates about Mildura
EMPLOYMENT WITHIN BUSINESS CATEGORIES
Not unexpectedly, a major proportion of employment within Mildura rural areas is within the ‘Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing’ industries but with the exception of Ouyen (2.8%) and Wentworth (7.7%), upwards of approximately 9.0% of the employees in Red Cliffs, Merbein and Irymple were engaged in ‘Manufacturing.’ Again with the exception of Ouyen (2.2%) between five and seven per cent of employees in the rural sub-areas were employed within the ‘Wholesale Trade’ category. Apart from the Rest of Wentworth (8.0%) a greater number still work within the retail trade, the proportion ranging from 10.2% to 16.5 %. This same category was dominant in the employment profile of Mildura Central accounting for 17.0% of employees with Manufacturing (9.3%) and Health and Community Services (10.6%) also significant components of the city’s workforce.
