Understanding the Sydney Market

This role has no August comparison in the data, so there is no trend to read yet. Pick packers earn $67,000 in Sydney and Brisbane alike. The 28% spread running $60,000 to $79,000 is narrow, which is what award-linked warehouse work produces. Against Sydney's $95,000 city median this is a 28.6% shortfall. Only 25% of listings stated a salary, so treat the figure as directional.
