This article presents indicative state and territory level industry division estimates for the Labour Account jobs and hours worked series. This is the third release of the modelled state and territory level estimates, following previous releases alongside the June quarter 2022 and June quarter 2023 Labour Account.
The estimates produced have been modelled by applying proportional factors to existing balanced national level Labour Accounts data. This is a similar approach to the indicative Labour Account status in employment estimates, which were published with the June quarter 2021 Labour Account release.
Building a state and territory dimension directly into the compilation processes of the Labour Account is not yet feasible, given the limitations of existing data sources.
In the meantime, this proportionally allocated state-based Labour Account data provides useful insights into industries at the state and territory level, as it is based on the national level Labour Account industry information. The Labour Account provides the best ABS industry estimates of employment, jobs and hours worked at the national level.
