Do the numbers look a bit small? It's because...:
Most optometrists do not switch jobs every year
1-in-7 jobs are not advertised
Optometrists work ~4-days/week
Job ads do not separate job growth vs turnover
Rurality...:
Metropolitan = MM1;
Non-metro = regional to very remote = MM2-7
Red = re-advertised in past 6 months
Rurality MM1 = metro → MM7 = very remote
Red = re-advertised in past 6 months
Rurality MM1 = metro → MM7 = very remote

- Job advertisements are deduplicated and converted to full-time equivalent (FTE), assuming a 5-day work week
- “Employer by week” is calculated as a 1-year rolling average
- “Job ads (FTE) / year per 100 optoms” is calculated as a 1-year rolling average
- Advertised salaries may be reported inclusive or exclusive of superannuation
- Additional methodological detail is provided in Workforce Map
- Unauthorised reuse of PFF data is prohibited; external use requires prior written permission
