Construction decreased by 5,582 and Manufacturing decreased by 3,606 between 2009 to 2014.

The largest decline was seen in Polymer Product Manufacturing, with 513 fewer employed in that industry in the five years to Although a large proportion of the manufacturing industry is in decline, there are still areas within the industry that have shown growth. The largest growth was seen in Beverage Manufacturing which employed 448 more people in the five years to 2011.
11 Slide 10 Employers not employing locally Sydney Source: ABS, Census of Population and Housing, 2011 Travelling for Work: Source: ABS, Census of Population and Housing, 2011 The Sydney West and Blue Mountains PEA is part of Sydney, the largest and most diverse labour market in Australia. Large numbers of people leave or enter the PEA for work. In 2011, the PEA was a net exporter of labour: 150,000 people who live in the PEA work outside the PEA 120,000 people who live outside the PEA work in the PEA The number of people leaving the PEA for work is likely to continue unless current trends change. Recent initiatives towards decentralisation of jobs away from the Sydney CBD may help reduce the number of people who leave the PEA for work.
12 Slide 11 Youth unemployment is high Youth unemployment Region Persons (15-24 years) Youth unemployment rate Participation rate Blacktown 4, % 62.2% Outer West and Blue Mountains 3, % 69.7% Parramatta 5, % 55.0% Australia 255, % 66.6% Source: ABS Labour Force data, March 2014 (12 month averages) Youth unemployment is high Source: ABS Labour Force data, March 2014 (12 month averages) Due to their lack of skills and experience, young persons can be particularly vulnerable during a labour market downturn. The youth unemployment rate is the proportion of those aged 15 to 24 years, participating in the labour market, who are unemployed. As at March 2014, the youth unemployment rate for Blacktown was 16.4 per cent, higher than for Australia (12.4 per cent). As at March 2014, the participation rate for Blacktown 62.2 per cent, lower than for Australia (66.6 per cent).

Source: ABS, Census of Population and Housing, Usual Residence, 2011 Of the 15 to 24 year old cohort in the Sydney West and Blue Mountains PEA (a total of 120,100), 59 per cent are studying, a figure similar to that for NSW (61 per cent). Of these 15 to 24 year olds 41 per cent were not studying: 11 per cent were not employed at the time of census (13,800 persons) compared to 10 per cent for NSW. 6 per cent (6,100 persons) had competed Year 12 of equivalent (this figure is also 6 per cent for NSW). 5 per cent (7,700 persons) had not competed Year 12 study (compared to a figure of 4 per cent in NSW).

This figure was higher when compared with New South Wales (13 per cent). For young adult males in the PEA, 6 per cent were not in the labour force and not studying and a further 7 per cent were unemployed and not studying. For young adult females in the region, 14 per cent were not in the labour force and not studying and a further 4 per cent were unemployed and not studying. In the Holroyd LGA, for young adult females, 23 per cent were not in the labour force and not studying and a further 7 per cent were unemployed and not studying.

At the time of the 2011 Census, the proportion of 25 to 34 year olds in the Sydney West and Blue Mountains PEA who had completed Year 12 or equivalent was 75 per cent, on par with Australia (75 per cent). However, growth for persons completing Year 12 between the 2006 and 2011 census was higher in Sydney West and Blue Mountains PEA (8 per cent) than for Australia (6 per cent respectively). At the time of the 2011 Census, the proportion of 25 to 34 year olds who had attained an Advanced Diploma, Diploma or Certificate level III or IV in the PEA (29 per cent) was slightly lower than the national average (30 per cent), and the proportion who had attained a Bachelor Degree or higher (34 per cent) was only slightly lower than the national average (35 per cent).

In 2013, some 15 per cent of year 9 student did not meet the minimum standard for reading in Blacktown. This is higher when compared to New South Wales (5 Per cent). In addition, 16 per cent of year 9 students did not meet the minimum standard for numeracy, this is double when compared to New South Wales (8 per cent).

For those aged 25 to 34 years in the Sydney West and Blue Mountains PEA, there were high unemployment rates for those who had completed Certificate I & II (12.1 per cent) and those who did not complete Year 12 without any further post school qualification (12.0 per cent). Unemployment rates are considerably lower for those who have completed a tertiary education at the Bachelor degree (4.8 per cent) or a Advanced Diploma and Diploma Level (5.3 per cent). It should also be noted that employment outcomes are better for those who have attained Certificate Levels III or IV (4.2 per cent unemployment rate). This emphasises the importance of post school education in ensuring success in gaining employment.

Jobless families are families where the parents are unemployed or not in the labour force, with children under 15 years of age. Some 16 per cent of all families (with children under 15 years) in the PEA were jobless, a figure slightly larger than that for Australia (14 per cent). However, family joblessness varied greatly between LGAs. Auburn LGA had a high of 25 per cent of all families (with children under 15 years) who were jobless and the Blue Mountains LGA had a low of 11 per cent. At least 40,700 dependent children under the age of 15 were living in a family with no working parent.

Lower Skilled Occupations refers to Sales Workers, Machinery Operators and Drivers and Labourers. Overall, 36 per cent of working age (15-64) OTMESC migrants had obtained a Bachelor Degree or higher. These people were either. Not in the labour force (8 per cent for males and 24 per cent for females), Unemployed (4 per cent for males and 6 per cent for females), or Employed in a lower-skilled occupation (4 per cent for males and 6 per cent for females). This compares with 15 per cent of working age (15-64) non-otmesc migrants who had obtained a Bachelor Degree or higher. These people were either. Not in the labour force (7 per cent for males and 13per cent for females), Unemployed (2 per cent for males and 2 per cent for females), or Employed in a lower-skilled occupation (5 per cent for males and 3 per cent for females).

For the OTMESC population in the Sydney West and Blue Mountains PEA that do not speak English well or at all, the unemployment was high (15.2 per cent) and the participation rate was low (41.6 per cent). This compares with a lower unemployment rate for the OTMESC population who speak English only (6.2 per cent) and a higher participation rate (76.4 per cent). The unemployment rate for the non-otmesc population was 5.9 per cent and the participation rate was 75.5 per cent.
