This bulletin contains revised series from July 1969 to June 1971 and replaces the series published in monthly bulletins Employment and Unemployment (cat. no. 6213.0).
Between population censuses the employment data are obtained from three main sources, namely (a) current pay-roll tax returns, (b) current returns from government bodies, and (c) some other current returns of employment (e.g. for hospitals); the balance, i.e. unrecorded private employment, is estimated. At June 1966, recorded employment obtained from the foregoing sources accounted for about 85 per cent of the total number of employees in the industries covered, as determined by the census.
The figures in this bulletin generally relate only to civilian wage and salary earners, not the total labour force. They therefore exclude employers, self-employed and unpaid helpers. Also excluded because of the inadequacy of current data, are employees In agriculture and private domestic service.
This issue was originally published with the reference number 6.23.
Continued by: Employed Wage and Salary Earners, Australia (cat. 6248.0)
