| Page tools: | ||
Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) The Successful and Unsuccessful Job Search Experience survey collects information about the job search experience of job seekers. If provides information on the ways in which people look for jobs, and particularly on the methods which prove ultimately to be successful. Information from this survey is used in the development and analysis of labour market policy. This survey is conducted as part of the Monthly Population Survey, which comprises the Labour Force Survey and, in most months, a supplementary survey topic.
SCOPE - Labour Force Survey The Labour Force Survey includes all persons aged 15 and over except: From July 1993 Jervis Bay Territory is also excluded from the scope of the survey. Before July 1993 it was included in estimates for the Australian Capital Territory.
SCOPE - Successful and Unsuccessful job Search Experience The scope for the Successful and Unsuccessful job Search Experience survey was the same as that used for the Labour Force Survey except that it was restricted to persons who had started, or who had looked for, a job for wages or salary over the previous 12 months. Students at boarding school, some patients in hospitals and sanatoriums and inmates of reformatories, goals, etc. were also excluded.
From July 1997, all supplementary surveys excluded persons in remote and sparsely settled areas of Australia. The exclusion of these persons has only a minor effect on estimates for individual States or Territories.
COVERAGE - Labour Force Survey In the Labour Force Survey, coverage rules are applied which aim to ensure that each person is associated with only one dwelling, and hence has only one chance of selection. The chance of a person being enumerated at two separate dwellings in the one survey is considered to be negligible.
Persons who are away from their usual residence for six weeks or less at the time of interview are enumerated at their usual residence (relevant information may be obtained from other usual residents present at the time of the survey). Conceptual framework The survey shows the job search experience of persons who are unemployed at the beginning of the reference period. It provides information on steps taken to find work and individual characteristics of both successful and unsuccessful jobseekers. This indicates which methods of job attainment are most effective and which combination of individual characteristics are more likely to result in successful outcomes.
