Table 20: Employment by Industry
This table is compiled from data collected in the Labour Force Survey. The scope of the survey excludes members of the permanent defence forces, some diplomatic personnel, overseas residents in Australia and members of non-Australian defence forces stationed in Australia. Table 20 in the 2005-06 and 2006-07 releases of 5209.0.55.0001 has been adjusted to included permanent defence force personnel which should have been included in the original release, and are being re-released in conjunction with the 2006-07 release of 5215.0.55.0001 on 30 March 2011.
This table shows the number of employees and employed persons in each industry. An employed person means either an employee or an employer or an own account worker or a contributing family worker. The number of employees and employed persons are shown on a full-time, part-time and full-time equivalent basis.
For example, there were 10,421 full-time and 2,894 part-time employees, which equates to 11,868 full-time equivalent employees in the Sheep industry. During the same period there were 30,738 full-time and 12,837 part-time employed persons, which equates to 37,156 full-time equivalent employed persons in that industry.
