SUMMARY OF FINDINGS INTRODUCTION While broad-aggregation data at the State level are available as trend estimates, lower aggregations (e.g. regional, industry or occupation data) are only available as original series. Consequently, the following data are original series estimates. REGIONS In November 2001, the Melbourne Major Statistical Region (MSR) recorded a lower unemployment rate (5.9%) and a higher participation rate (64.1%) than the Balance of Victoria MSR (6.1% and 61.5% respectively). The unemployment rates in Melbourne MSR were 5.9% for both males and females. In the Balance of Victoria MSR the unemployment rates were 6.4% for males and 5.7% for females. North Western Melbourne (7.7%) and Outer Western Melbourne (7.6%) recorded the highest unemployment rates within the Melbourne MSR. The regions outside the Melbourne MSR with the highest unemployment rates were Central Highlands-Wimmera (7.8%) and All Gippsland (6.4%).
