AreaSearch analysis of employment trends sees Glenmore Park performing better than 90% of local markets assessed across Australia

Glenmore Park has a skilled workforce with essential services sectors well-represented. As of June 2025, the unemployment rate is 1.4%, based on AreaSearch's aggregation of statistical area data.

There are 15,732 residents employed while the unemployment rate is 2.8% below Greater Sydney's rate of 4.2%. Workforce participation stands at 73.5%, surpassing Greater Sydney's 60.0%. Dominant employment sectors include health care & social assistance, construction, and education & training. Notably, public administration & safety has a high concentration with employment levels at 1.6 times the regional average.

However, professional & technical services have limited presence, accounting for only 5.3% of employment compared to the regional average of 11.5%. The area appears to offer limited local employment opportunities as indicated by the Census working population vs resident population count. In the 12-month period ending June 2025, labour force decreased by 2.3%, and employment also decreased by 2.3%, with unemployment remaining essentially unchanged. This contrasts with Greater Sydney where employment rose by 2.6% during the same period. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Sep-22 offer insights into potential future demand within Glenmore Park. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, suggest national employment should expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years. Applying these industry-specific projections to Glenmore Park's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.3% over five years and 13.1% over ten years, though this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not account for localised population projections.
