Manual work proved as the best pay slip booster these days, according to a new national wage report that detailed the compensation benefits currently enjoyed by Australian workers.

As expected, workers directly and indirectly employed in numerous mining projects earned the bets keep to date, with Western Australia emerging as the new destination for those seeking to earn more cash real quick.

Thanks to the ongoing mining boom, the WA economy has allowed its workers to earn an average of $159,000 each year, according to the Suncorp Bank report, which came out late Wednesday.

Workers in the region, the report said, have experienced incredible wage surges in the past 15 years, with sold forecasts that the trend will be sustained in the years ahead as mining projects continue to flourish.

Inevitably, the economic benefits will also be felt by workers situated in nearby mining states and territories such as the Northern Territory, where workers are poised to be paid higher weekly salaries, the Suncorp report said.

Across the board, blue-collar employees now enjoy a $144 edge over their office counterparts, with an average weekly pay slip that reads $1229, with many in the resource industry even taking home as much as $2200 each week, Suncorp said.

The report highlighted the pay benefits of Australians currently engaged in the utilities sector, which recorded pay spikes of about 117 percent from 15 years ago.

The pay metrics also pointed to female workers as considerably lagging behind their male counterparts, with salaries that reach as low as $500 per week, the new research said.

Most of these female workers were employed by companies in the hospitality, arts and retail industries, according to Suncorp.

The emerging new truth about the findings, according to Suncorp Bank executive manager Tony Meredith, is that a university degree, once ultimately regarded as the way to earn as much cash as possible, has become an optional tool for workers to secure a high-paying in Australia.

"When I left school everyone knew you had to go to university to get a good income ... There are a lot more options for young people these days," Mr Meredith told The Daily Telegraph on Wednesday.

The Suncorp report also showed that employment slots in Canberra remain a prized goal for many as the city emerged where many high-paid workers are currently concentrated, which means the capital enjoys the steadiest and highest salary growth among key locations in the country.

Salary pay in New South Wales, on the other hand, represents the country's slowest growth, Mr Meredith reported.
