New data to be released today with Queensland's state budget reveals the state's public service has added about 11,700 full time equivalent employees in the past year, with corporate roles growing at a faster rate than frontline jobs.
An extra 11,700 full-time equivalent employees were added to Queensland's public service between March last year and March this year.
As of March this year, the total size of the Queensland public service had reached 258,012 full-time equivalent employees , which is up from 246,309 the same time last year. "I know how hard our frontline healthcare staff, police, teachers, social workers, scientists, ambos and park rangers work every single day," Mr Miles said.
The 9.29 per cent growth in corporate roles this past year is also the greatest annual jump in such jobs in the past four years. About 17.76 per cent of public servants also now earn between $120,000 and $149,999 per year, which is an increase from 15.88 per cent a year earlier.In March 2020, the proportion of public servants earning upwards of $120,000 a year was 12.51 per cent, but this is now sitting at 24.25 per cent.
