Regional employment projections, 2010–11 to 2040–41: Methodology and assumptions (report)
This paper provides an overview of the methodology and assumptions used in preparing the regional employment projections data tables.
Regional employment projections, 2010–11 to 2040–41 (table)
These regional employment projections are based on and consistent with the Queensland Government population projections, 2015 edition (medium series), State budget forecasts (2015–16) and a range of other assumptions and variables. The projections are produced on a no policy change basis and should not be considered as forecasts of future employment growth. Rather, they are long term projections of possible future employment growth derived from the range of assumptions and information used in their construction. The projections are compiled using the latest information available at the time of production. However, these components change over time and, therefore, direct comparisons should not be made between these projections and any future projections that may be published at a later date or other shorter term forecasts of employment growth.
