LABOUR STATISTICS NEWS
LABOUR THEME PAGE
The ABS Labour Theme Page, available on the ABS web site, provides a guide to the range of ABS statistics on the labour market, as well as links to the latest data released. To find the Theme Page, go to <https://www.abs.gov.au> [Themes - People - Labour].
CHANGES TO THE LABOUR FORCE SURVEY
In June 2007, the ABS introduced an improved method of estimation for the LFS. The new method, known as composite estimation, is more efficient than the previous estimation method. That is, the composite estimator achieves a given level of standard error at lower cost and respondent load than the previous estimator.
The new estimation method was introduced with the release of May 2007 labour force statistics on 7 June 2007 in Labour Force, Australia (cat. no. 6202.0). At the same time, the ABS released revised historical LFS statistics based on the new estimation method back to April 2001. The resulting discontinuity in labour force series at April 2001 is not statistically significant.
LFS data presented in this publication from April 2001 have been produced by composite estimation.
For more information on the new method of composite estimation, see Information Paper: Forthcoming Changes to Labour Force Survey Products, 2007 (cat. no. 6292.0).
REVIEW OF AUSTRALIAN LABOUR MARKET STATISTICS PUBLICATION
The quarterly publication Australian Labour Market Statistics (cat. no. 6105.0) was first released in April 2003. Since then, the environment in which Australian Labour Market Statistics was designed has changed. With the introduction of free publications and data products via the ABS web site, and more than four years on from its initial publication, it is timely to review the content and future direction of Australian Labour Market Statistics. All users of ABS labour statistics are invited to provide comments on various aspects of the publication through a consultation package accessible from the ABS web site via The Labour Theme Page and Australian Labour Market Statistics (cat. no. 6105.0) July 2007, under the Summary tab'. Feedback provided by users will assist in determining the future content and direction of Australian Labour Market Statistics. For further information on the review of 6105.0, please contact Catherine Toet on Canberra (02) 6252 7636 or email <c.toet@abs.gov.au>.

The Monthly Population Survey comprises the Labour Force Survey and a range of supplementary surveys, which provide detailed information on a range of topics.

EMPLOYMENT TYPE
An updated spreadsheet containing the annual time series on employment type, from 1992 to 2006, is now available from the ABS web site. To find the spreadsheet go to <https://www.abs.gov.au> [Statistics - By Catalogue Number - 6. Labour Statistics and Prices - 61. Labour statistics - general]. The spreadsheet is listed under the 'Details tab' in this July 2007 issue of Australian Labour Market Statistics (cat. no. 6105.0). The spreadsheet includes estimates of employment type by sex and full-time/part-time status for each of the following variables: age (five year age groups), state of usual residence, industry and occupation. For more information see the Spotlight section of this publication.
RELEASE OF ANZSCO AND ANZSIC06 DATA
In 2006 the ABS released the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (cat. no. 1220.0) and Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification, 2006 (cat. no. 1292.0). These products replaced the previous occupation and industry classifications. The ABS has been coding industry and occupation data from the Labour Force Survey to both the old and new classifications since August 2006, and will continue doing so until 2009. The ABS released six data cubes containing data based on the new classifications in March 2007. The data cubes currently contain data for August 2006, November 2006 and February 2007 and will be updated each quarter as additional data become available. To find the data cubes go to the ABS web site <https://www.abs.gov.au>, click on 'Access to all ABS products and statistics' and search by catalogue number. The spreadsheets can be found under the 'Details' tab for catalogue number 6291.0.55.003, Labour Force, Australia, Detailed, Quarterly.
