MAY KEY POINTS TREND ESTIMATES
NOTES FORTHCOMING ISSUES
FREQUENCY CHANGE The frequency of the average weekly earnings series is changing from quarterly to biannual in 2012. The May 2012 publication is the last quarterly issue and the November 2012 publication the first produced on a biannual basis. From 2013 onwards, the AWE series will be published twice a year relating to the May and November quarters. An assessment of the feasibility of releasing seasonally adjusted and trend estimates determined that seasonal factors remain present and can be calculated on a biannual basis. However, it should be noted that calculating seasonally adjusted and trend estimates using only two points of measurement each year, rather than the four points available in a quarterly survey, will likely result in a change in the level of these series. For full details on the change in frequency, refer to the Information Paper: Changes to Average Weekly Earnings, Australia, April 2012 (cat. no. 6302.0.55.002). PUBLICATION FORMAT CHANGE From the November 2012 issue, released in February 2013, Average Weekly Earnings (cat. no. 6302.0) will be published in an e-magazine (HTML) format and the PDF version of the publication will no longer be available. Note that there will be no loss of content resulting from the change in format. COMPOSITIONAL EFFECTS Movements in average weekly earnings can be affected by changes in both the level of earnings per employee and in the composition of the labour force. Refer to paragraphs 26 and 27 of the Explanatory Notes. SAMPLING ERROR For information on sampling error, see the Technical Note (on page 33 of the PDF version of this publication or under the Explanatory Notes tab on the website). Standard errors for the original estimates contained in this publication are in Tables 18 to 20.
