Employment confidence has risen to its highest level in almost two years.
The latest Westpac McDermott Miller employment confidence index for the three months to June has risen four and a half points to 108.2.
An figure above 100 indicates there are more optimists than pessimists.
There had been a small decline the previous quarter.
The only part of the survey to record a decline was people's earnings expectations.
Fewer people expect to be earning more in a year's time, which Westpac senior economist Donna Purdue says could be due to the tax changes announced in the Budget.
