Just 7% of Australians feel that their job will become more secure over the next two years. 28% feel it will become less secure while the largest proportion (50%) feel it will stay about the same.
There were no significant differences based on voting intention.
The only significant change from the last time this question was asked in February 2015 is the increase in ‘don’t know’ from 4% to 15%.
