New series: aggregate monthly hours worked by state and territory
An article in the November 2010 issue of Labour Force, Australia (cat. no. 6202.0) introduced the expansion of the newly developed measures of aggregate monthly hours worked to complement the existing state and territory information on employment and unemployment.
For information on the methodology used to create these estimates see Information Paper: Expansion of Hours Worked Estimates from the Labour Force Survey, Australia (cat. no. 6290.55.001), released on 8 September 2009.
From the January 2011 issue of Labour Force, Australia (cat. no. 6202.0) (to be released on 10 February 2011), the ABS will introduce:
- monthly measures of aggregate monthly hours worked, by state, in seasonally adjusted terms; and
- monthly measures of aggregate monthly hours worked, by state and territories, in trend terms.
