Current Releases

Regional labour force (report)

Published
Last reviewed

This information brief is based on the monthly ABS publication, Labour force: Australia, detailed – electronic delivery and uses the direct survey estimates. It provides a brief summary (based on a 12–month moving average of direct survey estimates) of employment, labour supply and the unemployment rate for each of the 19 statistical areas level 4 (SA4s) within Queensland. The zip file contains the 19 region briefs and the one–page summary brief.

The regional labour force briefs are based on the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS).

Regional labour force notes

Due to the high standard errors associated with regional labour force direct survey estimates, the ABS and QGSO recommend using 12-month averages to reduce the volatility of the underlying original data.

All data in this brief are based on 12–month moving averages of direct survey estimates. This approach is supported by ABS advice on analysis of regional labour force estimates (see Table 16(b) of Labour Force, Australia, Detailed).

Data for Queensland as a whole are provided for reference purposes only. Users should refer to monthly trend estimates from the Labour Force Survey for analysis of labour market performance at the state level.

The labour force statistics presented in this brief are on a sample basis and will include a sampling error. As such, these estimates will exhibit, in some cases, large volatility in monthly changes. Extreme caution should be used when making inferences from these estimates.

Totals may not add due to rounding. Figures are rounded to nearest 100 persons. Calculations are based on pre-rounded figures.
