Labour Account Australia, September 2019

In today’s release the ABS has published historical Labour Account data that extends the comprehensive picture of the Australian Labour market from September 2019 to September 1994. A 25 year time series of data is now available for all four Labour Account quadrants (Jobs, Persons, Labour Volume and Labour Payments). This allows for longer time series analysis of the number of jobs, the number of employed persons, hours worked and income, all within one coherent framework.

This spotlight provides a series of summary snapshots of the Australian labour market over the past 25 years, primarily focusing on the Jobs quadrant, which provides statistics on numbers of jobs both filled and vacant, as well as main and secondary jobs.

All data are seasonally adjusted, unless otherwise noted.

Filled jobs

Total jobs in Australia increased by 64.6% during the period between September 1994 and September 2019, with an increase in filled jobs of 63.6%. The Health care and social assistance industry experienced the largest increase in filled jobs during this period, with an industry share of 13% in September 2019. Manufacturing had the largest fall in its industry share of filled jobs (by 7 percentage points) with a fall of around 270,000 filled jobs.

The graph below shows the trajectory of filled jobs for the five industries that recorded the highest number of filled jobs in September 2019. Filled jobs have experienced steady growth over the period for all of these industries. However, over the recent years growth rates have slowed for Accommodation and food services, Construction and Retail trade industries. See Wholesale trade and Retail trade: a comparison for a more in-depth analysis of the Retail trade industry.

Over the past two decades, there has been a noticeable divergence between the number of filled jobs in goods and services industries (Footnote 1) in Australia. Since 2008, growth in filled jobs in goods industries has been relatively limited, while growth in filled jobs in services industries has shown a positive trend. The share of filled jobs changed from being almost equally split between goods and services industries in September 1994, to evolve to around 39% of jobs in goods industries and 61% in service industries in September 2019, reflecting considerable structural change in the economy.

Compensation of Employees

Compensation of Employees (COE) has increased over the time series, with different growth rates across the industries. The Professional, scientific and technical services industry generally had the highest growth in COE over the period, though it was overtaken by the Health care and social assistance industry in the December 2018 and June 2019 quarters. Accommodation and food services had the lowest growth in COE compared to the other highest employing industries during the period between 2004 and 2015, with slower growth in the Retail trade and Construction industries also evident in recent years.
