UPDATED JOB FIGURES WELCOMED
31 January 2025
Wollondilly Independent MP Judy Hannan has welcomed the report on job figures and comparison rates to regions released by the New South Wales Parliamentary Research Service today. Wollondilly has a 1.9% unemployment rate, the 4th lowest in the State and the lowest in the South West Sydney region.
The 4th lowest unemployment rate in the State is an improvement on last year’s figures, which showed Wollondilly with the 6th lowest unemployment rate.

“While these figures show Wollondilly has the fourth lowest unemployment rate in the State, the thanks is due to the resilience of our residents. This figure shows while more of our people are getting jobs, there is more work to be done to increase the employment in our community.”
“I proudly express thanks to the community for their resilience. 60% of our constituents are travelling out of the electorate daily for work. This shows how resilient our people are in choosing to work wherever they can.”
“There is more work to be done and I look forward to working with all levels of government and business to increase local opportunities for jobs.”
