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 increased restrictions across various areas in Australia, the ABS intends to continue to publish further articles each month until changes in hours worked series return to pre-COVID conditions.
Insights into hours worked, July 2021
Hours worked and employment
Hours worked decreased by 0.2% (in seasonally adjusted terms) between June and July 2021, while employment increased by less than 0.1% or 2,200 people. The 0.2% fall in hours worked followed a decrease of 1.8% between May and June, and reflected the large fall in hours worked in New South Wales (7.0%) and recovery in hours worked in Victoria (9.7%) in July.
The July survey reference period was from 4 July to 17 July 2021. The New South Wales fall coincided with the Greater Sydney Lockdown, which began on 26 June, with the second and third weeks of the lockdown covered by the July reference period. The Victorian recovery reflected the end of the fourth lockdown on 10 June, with the July reference period falling almost entirely before the start of the fifth lockdown on 16 July.
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 July 2016.

States and territories
Chart 3 shows the changes in monthly hours worked for each of the states and territories, indexed to March 2020. Hours worked over the COVID period have been impacted by lockdowns and other restrictions that have been in place across the country.
The monthly hours worked for New South Wales fell 40.5 million hours (7.0%) between June and July, and were 5.2% lower than March 2020.
Monthly hours worked in Victoria rose 42.3 million hours (9.7%) between June and July 2021, recovering from the 8.4% fall during the June lockdown.
The Northern Territory has remained consistently below its March 2020 level, which partly reflects its employment and hours worked coming off a recent peak at that time, together with the inherent variability in its seasonally adjusted data.

People working fewer hours
Chart 4 shows the number of people working fewer (or no) hours in July 2021:
- due to taking annual leave, holidays, flextime, or long service leave - which was 1,328,200 people.
- due to economic reasons - which was 646,000 people. This was an increase of 125,900 from June 2021.
- due to other reasons - which was 577,900 people. This was an increase of 91,600 from June 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.
No work, not enough work available, or stood down ('000) | Annual leave, holidays, flextime, or long service leave ('000) | Worked fewer hours than usual for other reasons ('000) | |
