MAJOR LABOUR COSTS SURVEY
The ABS has commenced development work on the next Major Labour Costs (MLC) survey which is to be conducted in respect to the 2009-10 financial year. The last MLC survey was conducted in respect of the 2002-03 financial year, with results released in Labour Costs, Australia (6348.0.55.001).
The MLC survey collects information on a range of labour-related costs incurred by business, such as employee earnings, workers compensation premiums, employer superannuation contributions, payroll tax, and fringe benefits tax. Information is available on the total labour costs as well as labour costs per employee, for a range of business characteristics (e.g. industry, sector, employer size, and state or territory).
