A View From The Top
From Michael Tindall, the ABS WA Regional Director

Hot on the heels of the first release of data from the 2006 Census earlier this year comes the second release of data on 25 October.

Just as we are coming to grips with the mountains of data that the first release of the 2006 Census provided, we now have the opportunity to learn about our working lives. In a time of virtual full employment here in WA, knowing what we do, how we do it and where we do it is quite probably as important as it has ever been in our history.

Information from the second release of the 2006 Census will help Government to plan for our future labour force, businesses and other employing organisations.It can also assist in the planning of recruitment and retention strategies and enable employees to plan their future careers.

Don’t forget that data from the 2006 Census is available free on the web. Just go to <www.abs.gov.au/census> for all your Census needs.

While the data provided on the ABS website will give you a comprehensive picture of what Australians told us on Census night, we also recognise that you may have a need for more customised data. The ABS can provide you with those more customised solutions. Call us for a quote on our client services hotline 1300 135 070.
