TREND SERIES

A smoothed seasonally adjusted series of estimates. The trend estimate indicates the underlying level of the series and is directly comparable at different points in time. Trend estimates are revised as new original estimates become available.

See ORIGINAL SERIES and SEASONALLY ADJUSTED SERIES




UNDEREMPLOYED WORKERS

Employed persons aged 15 years and over who want, and are available for, more hours of work than they currently have. They include:

• persons employed part-time who want to work more hours and are available to start work with more hours, either in the reference week or in the four weeks subsequent to the survey, or
• persons employed full-time who worked part-time hours in the reference week for economic reasons (such as being stood down or insufficient work being available). It is assumed that these people wanted to work full-time in the reference week and would have been available to do so.

UNEMPLOYED

Persons aged 15 years and over who were not employed during the reference week and:

• had actively looked for full-time or part-time work at any time in the four weeks up to the end of the reference week and were available for work in the reference week, or
• were waiting to start a new job within four weeks from the end of the reference week and could have started in the reference week if the job had been available then.

See LABOUR FORCE STATUS




UNEMPLOYED LOOKED FOR FULL-TIME WORK

• actively looked for full-time work; or
• were waiting to start a new full-time job.

See LABOUR FORCE STATUS




UNEMPLOYED LOOKED FOR ONLY PART-TIME WORK

• actively looked for part-time work only; or
• were waiting to start a new part-time job.

See LABOUR FORCE STATUS




UNEMPLOYED PEOPLE CLASSIFIED BY INDUSTRY AND OCCUPATION

UNMATCHED IN COMMON SAMPLE

Gross flows examines the transition between different labour force status classifications from one point in time to the next. Respondents who report in consecutive months make up the common or matched sample from which gross flow figures are derived.

After taking account of the sample rotation and varying non-response in each month, the common or matched sample is approximately 80 percent of the original dataset for any month. The figures presented in gross flows do not align with published labour force estimates. The unmatched sample identifies those respondents who do not have a labour force status for the previous month, or those who do not have a labour force status for the current month.
