Understanding the Sydney Market

Sydney Delivery Drivers earned $60,000 in May, up $10,000 from April, across 48 listings (down 1). The $10,000 increase from April is the largest month-on-month jump for this role and likely reflects a compositional shift (fewer lower-end listings) rather than genuine market-wide wage growth. Treat it as directional. At 34% below Sydney's all-roles median, this remains well below market.
