Linked Employer-Employee Dataset (LEED) The LEED enables simultaneous analysis of met *supply* and *demand* in the Australian labour market The LEED provides supplementary labour statistics and facilitates labour market research at industry and regional levels. The LEED can help us study Australian labour markets at macro and micro levels; examine how specific events (such as a natural disaster) impact employees and employers; and understand structural changes in the labour market. The LEED associates information about a person with information about their employing business. This is done by establishing the existence of a job. An employed person can have one or more jobs throughout the year with one or more employers, some of which may be held concurrently with others. A job can be created either by an employing business or the personal enterprise of the individual (an owner manager).
