REVISIONS IN THIS ISSUE

There are revisions in this issue due to the incorporation of more up-to-date data and concurrent seasonal adjustment.


HOURS WORKED ESTIMATES

Estimates of aggregate hours worked and other subsequently calculated estimates (such as GDP per hour worked) for June quarter 2014 may be impacted by a seasonal adjustment treatment highlighted in the April 2014 release of Labour Force, Australia (cat no 6202.0). Seasonal corrections were not applied to take into account the unusually close proximity of the timing of ANZAC Day and Easter holidays in April 2014.
