22 Jul Online Economic Profile Trend Data Update

REMPLAN online economic profiles have updated recent releases of new unemployment rates data.

All public access REMPLAN economic profiles have now been updated with the latest area-specific unemployment rates. These estimates are sourced from the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations’ (DEEWR) Small Area Labour Markets (SALM) datasets.

DEEWR releases SALM estimates on a quarterly basis at the Statistical Local Area level; the latest data is for March 2013, with June quarter data scheduled for release in Oct 2013. REMPLAN economic profiles present annual unemployment rate from 1998 to Mar 2013 using a four-quarter average estimate.
