Understanding the Perth Market

Perth Account Managers are earning at the city's all-roles median of exactly $100,000, meaning this role offers no premium over the Perth market average. That is surprising given the resources sector's influence on wages: account roles supporting mining clients typically command more. With 29 listings, up 8 from April, demand is growing modestly. The 66% spread from $84k to $150k reveals that mining-adjacent account roles do pay considerably more but are pulling the distribution upward without lifting the median.
