Data from the monthly Labour Force Survey are released in two stages. The Labour Force, Australia, Detailed - Electronic Delivery (cat. no. 6291.0.55.001) and Labour Force, Australia, Detailed, Quarterly (cat. no. 6291.0.55.003) are part of the second release, and include detailed data not contained in the Labour Force, Australia (cat. no. 6202.0) product set, which is released one week earlier.
The Labour Force, Australia, Detailed - Electronic Delivery (cat. no. 6291.0.55.001) is released monthly. Labour Force, Australia, Detailed, Quarterly (cat. no. 6291.0.55.003) includes data only collected in February, May, August and November (including industry and occupation).
Since these products are based on the same data as the Labour Force, Australia (cat. no. 6202.0) publication, the 6202.0 Labour Force, Australia Explanatory Notes are relevant to both releases.
From the November 2016 issue onwards, the Labour Force, Australia, Detailed, Quarterly (cat. no. 6291.0.55.003) publication has included detailed quarterly labour force data in pivot table format, in addition to the suite of SuperTable data cube outputs. As previously advertised, SuperTable data cube outputs for Labour Force, Australia, Detailed, Quarterly (cat. no. 6291.0.55.003) will be discontinued after the August 2017 issue. Pivot tables increase the accessibility of Labour Force data, as well as provide a long term replacement for the unsupported SuperTable data cube format. The pivot table products reflect the design and utility of the previous SuperTable data cubes as closely as possible. In addition, the inclusion of a comma separated variable (CSV) source worksheet in each pivot table is expected to be of particular interest to people who undertake statistical analysis using a range of software.
