Labour Force, Australia, September 2021

The ABS previously indicated its intention to cease publishing this article every month after the May 2021 issue (on 17 June 2021), and to only publish future updates as needed. Given the current lockdowns and other restrictions, the ABS intends to continue to publish further articles each month until changes in hours worked series return to pre-COVID conditions.

The September survey reference period was from 29 August to 11 September 2021. New South Wales, Victoria and the Australian Capital Territory were in lockdown during this period, with some easing of restrictions in regional Victoria on 10 September and some areas of regional New South Wales easing on 11 September. Hours worked recovered in Queensland, following the lockdowns in early August.

Hours worked and employment

Hours worked increased by 0.9% (in seasonally adjusted terms) between August and September 2021, while employment decreased by 1.1% or 138,000 people. The rise in hours worked followed three months of falls (1.8% in June, 0.2% in July and 3.7% in August) reflecting the impact of ongoing lockdowns and other restrictions over this period.

Chart 1 shows changes in hours worked and employment, indexed to March 2020, while Chart 2 shows monthly changes in hours worked and employment since September 2017. They highlight the extent to which hours worked provide a more comprehensive indication of the extent of labour market impacts over the pandemic than employment, given some employed people temporarily have reduced hours or no work, without necessarily losing their jobs.

States and territories

Over the COVID period, hours worked have been impacted when jurisdictions move into (and out of) lockdowns and other restrictions. This was again evident in changes in hours worked across many of the states and territories in September.

Despite the continued lockdowns across New South Wales, monthly hours worked rose by 13.8 million hours (2.7%) between August and September. This modest recovery followed the 7.0% fall between June and July, and the 6.5% fall between July and August, with hours worked remaining well below June 2021 (10.6%). The monthly increase was attributed to more hours being worked by full time employed people in September (compared with August), as well as people who had worked fewer hours than usual in August.

Monthly hours worked in Victoria fell by 16.6 million hours (3.6%) between August and September, following the 3.4% fall between July and August 2021, and were 3.2% lower than March 2020.

Monthly hours worked in Queensland rose 18.7 million hours (5.4%) between August and September, following the 5.3% fall between July and August, indicating the extent of recovery from the impact of the lockdowns in August.

Monthly hours worked in the Australian Capital Territory fell by 3.3 million hours (10.5%) between August and September, following the 2.5% fall between July and August and were 11.0% lower than March 2020.

Chart 3 shows the changes in monthly hours worked for New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and the Australian Capital Territory, indexed to March 2020.

People working fewer hours

Chart 4 shows the number of people working fewer (or no) hours in September 2021:

due to taking annual leave, holidays, flextime, or long service leave - which was 525,300 people
due to economic reasons - which was 827,600 people. This was a decrease of 6,200 from August 2021
due to other reasons - which was 799,500 people. This was a decrease of 206,000 from August 2021

When assessing the impacts of lockdowns, it is important to consider larger than seasonal changes in people reporting ‘economic reasons’ (that is, people reporting having no work, not enough work or being stood down) and ‘other reasons’. People reporting other reasons has increased during periods of lockdowns, indicating that some respondents feel that the longstanding categories do not fully capture the complexity of the restrictions and/or that it is difficult for them to attribute the reasons to a single category.

In addition to economic reasons and other reasons, some people who are impacted by lockdowns may also report different reasons, such as taking annual leave or holidays or using flextime during the lockdown period. All reasons are available from data cubes EM2a and EM2b.
