AUSTRALIA TOOWOOMBA REGION OF QUEENSLAND IS THE THIRD MOST INDUSTRIALLY DIVERSE REGION FOR JOBS WHERE 7366 PEOPLE ARE EMPLOYED IN RETAIL FOLLOWED BY 6639 IN EDUCATION 5788 IN MANUFACTURING AND 5148 IN CONSTRUCTION SECTOR TOOWOOMBA is the third most industrially diverse region in Australia with a wide cross-section of employment providing a buffer between the boom or bust nature of areas relying on a single industry. The Australian Bureau of Statistics review of industrial diversity placed Toowoomba at the top end of workplace variety, with health care and social assistance employing 8929 people - the most of any industry. Retail trade (7366 people) and education (6639) are the next biggest employers, followed by manufacturing (5788) and construction (5148). The relatively even spread of job types can be seen as a strength or a weakness, depending on perspective and circumstance. Areas such as the Silicon Valley in the United States, with its intense concentration on technology, or financial clusters in London, New York and Tokyo, are able to share suppliers, knowledge and customers between companies to get an edge on their out of town competitors. But it has its drawbacks, too.
