All detailed monthly and quarterly Labour Force Survey data now released in Labour Force, Australia, Detailed
The February 2020 issue of Labour Force, Australia, Detailed, Quarterly was the final release under that title. From May onwards, this Labour Force, Australia, Detailed release contains all the monthly and quarterly spreadsheets and pivot tables previously published in Labour Force, Australia, Detailed - Electronic Delivery (6291.0.55.001) and Labour Force, Australia, Detailed, Quarterly (6291.0.55.003). The file names, table names and time series IDs of all the monthly and quarterly time series spreadsheets and datacubes remain the same.
October 2021 Labour Force, Australia, Detailed will be released on 18 November
As advised in Labour Force, Australia, the October release of Labour Force, Australia, Detailed will be on 18 November 2021.
Data from the monthly Labour Force Survey are released in two stages:
- Labour Force, Australia - which contains headline estimates of employment, unemployment, underemployment, participation and hours worked
- Labour Force, Australia, Detailed - which contains detailed data not included in the first release
This second release of Labour Force Survey data includes the latest detailed monthly and quarterly data. Some information, including industry, occupation, sector, job duration, and retrenchment, is only available for February, May, August and November.
As a result, in the 'non-quarter' months, the quarterly spreadsheets and datacubes have a different reference period. For example, the May issue contains May monthly and May quarterly data, while the July issue will contain July monthly and May quarterly data.
For more information on the data contained in the first and second releases, see the Survey output section of the Labour Force Survey Methodology page.
