Average Wages in Australia 1998 to 2014
The average wage in Australia for a MALE working FULL TIME is now $1,649 per week, or $85,779 per year. This is a 2.8% increase during the previous 12 months. Full time Females average 78% of the Male rate, at $1,292 per week. The Average wage is NOT the mean wage, which I have shown to be about 86% of the average, in previous posts.
Based on that 86% estimation, the Mean Average Weekly wages would be:
$1,419 Male ($73,770 annual)
$1,111 Female ($57,782 annual)
Also see: Average Hourly Wage rates rise by 2.60% from June 2013 to June 2014
