Strong Economy
The largest employment sector in Mackay is Healthcare and Social Assistance which employs
8,324 people out of the 54,582-person strong workforce. With Mackay's growing population
and the increasing demand for healthcare services, this sector has seen consistent growth with the sector playing a crucial role in supporting the social fabric of the community by offering assistance and care to vulnerable populations.
