Quarterly small area labour force analysis and insights
Small Area Labour Force (SALF) reports
Labour force analysis focuses on working residents, and residents actively seeking work, providing insights into employment and unemployment changes over time. The REMPLAN quarterly Small Area Labour Force reports provide regular updates on the performance of your area’s economy. The reports provide input into strategy and policy as well as monitoring the impacts of strategic actions over time.
Detailed labour market insights
The REMPLAN forecasting team applies Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Labour Force Survey results, and Jobs and Skills Australia Small Area Labour Market (SALM) data to generate detailed small area insights, addressing questions such as:
- What is our youth unemployment rate?
- How is male versus female employment trending?
- What is our participation rate?
- Are average hours worked in our area increasing or decreasing?
The quarterly reports provide local government area specific insights into total number of employed and unemployed, changes in youth unemployment rates, understanding male and female workforce participation, changes in industry sector employment, assessment of ongoing underemployment, understanding long term unemployment and a range of other measures. Benchmark data is also provided.
