DATA CONTAINED IN THIS ISSUE

The statistics shown are the latest available at 22 June 2009. Data sources for the tables in this publication are listed in Appendix 1.


CHANGES IN THIS ISSUE

The average weekly earnings graph in the Labour Market Summary has been revised, with full-time ordinary time earnings replacing all employees total earnings.

The wage price index total hourly rates of pay excluding bonuses graph has been added to the Labour Market Summary.

Changes have been made to the key measures table. These include the addition of employment to population ratios, and the extended labour force underutilisation rate. Information on compensation of employees has been removed from the key measures table, but estimates are available in table 5.3.

The tables containing underutilisation data have been revised, and now include time series data for both state and territory (table 4.3 and 4.4) and age (table 4.5). As a result, table 4.5 and table 4.6 in the previous issue have been renumbered 4.6 and 4.7.

Finally, table 5.3 has been revised to include only data directly related to the labour market. Gross mixed income for household sector and gross domestic product (GDP) are no longer included.
