21 Jul Australia’s Hot Labour Market – Insights for Your Area
The ABS have just released new unemployment data which reflects a significant tightening of the labour market which is no doubt being felt by regions across Australia.
To find out about the state of the labour market in your region see our latest March 2022 Small Area Labour Force Reports (SALF).
REMPLAN’s Small Area Labour Force (SALF) reports have been updated for the March Quarter 2022, just in time to see how your region is tracking in Australia’s hot labour market.
These reports deliver quarterly updates on the labour force of your local economy in terms of:
- Youth unemployment
- Total hours worked
- Male and female employment trends
- Participation rates
- Employment by industry
The reports provide valuable insights for anyone interested in their local economy such as business, investors, consultants, executive teams, advocacy groups, and elected officials.
The reports are available for immediate download for local government areas across Australia, allowing for benchmarking and comparative analysis.
The SALF reports provide the detailed insights from the ABS Labour Force Survey, at the smaller LGA level of the National Skills Commission Small Area Labour Market (SALM) data.

REMPLAN’s SALF reports are published quarterly to provide regular local government area-specific updates into the employed and unemployed, youth and senior unemployment rates, female and male workforce participation, changes in industry sector employment, assessment of ongoing underemployment, understanding of long-term unemployment, and a range of other measures. Benchmark data is also provided.
Each report provides access to 10 years of data for a selected local government area. The report is in two parts, a pdf document providing a summary including infographics, which is accompanied by an Excel spreadsheet with detailed data. SALF reports provide:
An age by gender breakdown for:
- Full time and part time employment
- Full time and part time hours worked
- Unemployment
- Number in labour force, not in labour force and participation rates
An industry by gender breakdown for:
- Full time and part time employment
- Full time and part time hours worked
- Participation rates and underemployment
Total numbers for short, medium, and long-term unemployment.
Particularly during a period of low unemployment for Australia, understanding ongoing changes in your local economy in terms of working residents, and those actively seeking work, provides critical input to service delivery, strategy, and policy development.
