Persons

The Australian Labour Account produces the number of people employed from an industry perspective. As a result, the sum of employed persons in the Australian Labour Account across industry divisions does not equal the total number of people employed in the whole economy, given some people are employed in multiple industries.

The top three industries who have the highest number of employed persons in the December quarter 2019 were Health care and social assistance, Retail trade and Professional, scientific and technical services.

Payments

The Labour Account Payments quadrant presents the costs incurred by enterprises in employing labour, and the incomes received by people from its provision. Total income consists of compensation of employees and labour income from self-employment. The addition of other related costs to employers to total income will derive total labour costs.

The top three industries who have the highest total labour income in the December quarter 2019 were Health care and social assistance, Professional, scientific and technical services and Construction.

Removing the experimental status and other changes

Changes in future issues - removing experimental label

The ABS is planning to remove the experimental label from the Australian Labour Account with the March issue, to be published in June 2020. The ABS invites any input or feedback from stakeholders on the Labour Account prior to this time, as the ABS will seek to minimise revisions to the Labour Account estimates in the future.

Changes in this issue - impact of recent bushfires

A key input to the Labour Account is the monthly Labour Force Survey. While bushfires resulted in some disruption to data collection activities during December 2019, these disruptions did not result in any impacts to Labour Force Survey statistics. For further information, refer to details in Labour Force, Australia (cat. no. 6202.0).

Changes in this issue - revisions

Data in the four quadrants of the Labour Account, both quarterly and annual, have been revised from the previously published estimates.

Revisions may be attributable to a range of factors, including:

Revisions to quarterly source data, including:
1. revisions to data from the Labour Force Survey,
2. revisions to Overseas Arrivals and Departures data, and
3. revisions to data from the quarterly Australian National Accounts.
Seasonal factors for quarterly seasonally adjusted and trend data have been refined with the addition of a further quarterly observation.
