Table 20. Employment by Industry
This table is compiled from data collected in the Labour Force Survey. The scope of this survey excludes members of the permanent defence forces, some diplomatic personnel, overseas residents in Australia and members of non-Australian defence forces stationed in Australia. This table has been adjusted to include members of the permanent defence forces.
This table shows the number of employees and employed persons in each industry. An employed person is described as either an employee, an employer, an own account worker or a contributing family worker. The number of employees and employed persons are shown on a full time, part time and full time equivalent basis.
The employees and employed persons data is based on Labour force data taken from ABS Catalogue Number 6291.0.55.003. For further information regarding the scope, coverage and reliability of these estimates please see https://www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@.nsf/Lookup/6202.0Explanatory%20Notes1Nov%202010?OpenDocument.
For example, there were 52,714 full time and 10,906 part time employees, which equates to 58,167 full time equivalent employees in the Sheep, grains, beef and dairy cattle industry. During the same period there were 140,656 full time and 48,419 part time employed persons, which equates to 164,865 full time equivalent employed persons in that industry.
