Top Hunter Employers List released
For the fourth consecutive year MAP marketing has researched and published the The Top Hunter Employers List.
Since the previous year two major trends continue to impact on Hunter employment:
- The globalisation of enterprises
- Reduction in employment levels
According to Maria Charlton, Managing Director, MAP Marketing, “The identification of the Top Employers was extremely challenging because of the globalisation of company structure that made it difficult to isolate and confirm the staff numbers in the Hunter. The Top 10 employers were responsible for employing 52% of the total staff of 70,772.”
