Payroll Jobs

Latest release

Weekly payroll job indexes, sourced from Single Touch Payroll (STP) data

Reference period

Revised estimates for week ending 15 June 2024

Released

24/10/2024

Key statistics

In the week ending 15 June 2024, payroll jobs:

held steady at 0.0% in the month from 18 May 2024
increased by 1.0% in the year from 17 June 2023

Month change periods represent the index change between the reference week and four weeks prior, whereas annual change represents the index change from 52 weeks prior.

Estimates of change throughout this release are calculated using un-rounded index values. They may differ from, though are more accurate than, change calculated from rounded values.

In the previous release, the ABS indicated that the time between the reference week and the release date would be extended to almost 10 weeks to take advantage of more complete STP reporting and reduce the level of imputation, while this release has temporarily transitioned from monthly to quarterly.

The ABS has now determined a further extension of 8 weeks, out to around 18 weeks, will include substantially more complete data, reducing volatility and revisions. This will provide a more accurate time series of weekly changes in the labour market.

Taking advantage of more complete STP reporting effectively removes the need for imputation, which is particularly important around the change in financial year which sees a higher level of reporting variability.

The final reference week for this release is the 15 June 2024. The next quarterly release reference week will be the 14 September 2024.

Industry subdivision

Time series estimates of payroll jobs by industry subdivision are presented as index values in Table 2 of the Data downloads. Refer to the Glossary in the Methodology for more detailed information on the industry classification.

Industry employment guide

Refer to the ABS Industry employment guide for more detailed information on the range of ABS labour measures, their purpose and how to use them.

Employment size

The improved stability of estimates from extending the time between the reference week and release date has enabled release of employment size indexes for the latest reference week without the need for a month lag.

The 0-19 employment size group now excludes businesses with an 'unknown' employment size, resulting in revisions to the 0-19 employment size index throughout the time series. Payroll jobs for businesses with an ‘unknown’ employment size are still included in the All businesses total.

In the month to 15 June 2024, payroll jobs fell in 2 of 3 employment size groups.

Employers with 0-19 employees had the largest fall (-1.0%).
Employers with 200 employees and over increased (0.5%).
