Certainly, the figure of women, directly working across the nation’s resource business, has witnessed its biggest quarterly augmentation in eight years, which is portrayed as an encouraging result as resource recruiters/job-providers focus on expanding their workers for better competitiveness.

As per the numbers provided by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), the figure of the women doing a job in the industry jumped by 8,000 to total 38,600 or 17.17% of the manpower in the three months to May 2016 even as it compared to a drop of 6,600 men hired in resources to presently stand at 185,800.

It was duly pursued by the coal mining segment, which hired 1,800 more females to hit 5,700, and the oil and gas sector which hired approximately 1,200 females to hit the 5,900 mark.

But, women continue to be most notably hired in the metal ore mining, with this field improving its female personnel figures by 1,250 to 12,300.
