As foreshadowed in the September 2010 issue of Labour Force, Australia (cat. no. 6202.0) in the article Labour Force Survey Population Benchmarks, the ABS has changed the assumptions used to create the population benchmarks underpinning the Labour Force Survey estimates from October 2010. Refer to article titled Changes this month in the October 2010 issue of Labour Force, Australia (cat. no. 6202.0).
Data from the monthly Labour Force Survey are released in two stages. The Labour Force, Australia, Detailed - Electronic Delivery (cat. no. 6291.0.55.001) and Labour Force, Australia, Detailed, Quarterly (cat. no. 6291.0.55.003) are part of the second release, and include detailed data not contained in the Labour Force, Australia (cat. no. 6202.0) product set, which is released one week earlier.
The Labour Force, Australia, Detailed - Electronic Delivery (cat. no. 6291.0.55.001) is released monthly. Labour Force, Australia, Detailed, Quarterly (cat. no. 6291.0.55.003) includes data only collected in February, May, August and November (including industry and occupation).
Since these products are based on the same data as the Labour Force, Australia (cat. no. 6202.0) publication, the 6202.0 Labour Force, Australia Main Features are relevant to both releases.
