Standard Errors
Estimates from the Labour Force Survey (LFS) are based on information collected from people in a sample of dwellings, rather than the entire population. Hence the estimates produced may differ from those that would have been produced if the entire population had been included in the survey. The most common measure of the likely difference (or 'sampling error') is the standard error (SE).New models for calculating standard errors for these estimates were introduced in August 2005 and apply to estimates from the LFS from November 2002 onwards.

Estimates in this spreadsheet that have a relative standard error greater than 25% are indicated by a comment attached to the cell. These estimates are subject to sampling variability too high for most practical purposes. For further information on standard errors, see either Labour Force, Australia Standard Errors (cat. no. 6202) or the paper Labour Force Survey Standard Errors, 2005 (cat. no. 6298.0).
