‘Job attachment’ refers to whether someone has a job that they are connected to.
With many series in this article not showing further COVID-19 disruptions in March 2022, the ABS is planning to cease publishing this article after the March 2022 issue (on 14 April 2022). The ABS will continue to monitor changes in job attachment and provide additional analysis when relevant.
Whether someone has a job is one of a number of elements used by the ABS to determine whether someone is employed or not, together with whether they have worked an hour or more (or whether they were temporarily absent from work) and whether they have been paid. For more on how the ABS defines someone as employed, refer to the Glossary.
Given employment is determined using multiple criteria, it is possible for someone to have attachment to a job without necessarily being employed. Prior to the pandemic, there was a relatively small number of people each month who had attachment to a job but were not considered to be employed. These people are comprised of two groups:
For more on how the ABS categorises people outside of employment, see the ABS release on ‘Potential workers’.
Unlike major economic shocks in the past, the current pandemic period has been characterised by a much greater number of people losing hours than people losing jobs. ‘Insights into hours worked’, which the ABS has published since March 2020, has highlighted the extent to which people have remained attached to a job but worked reduced or no hours around lockdowns and other restrictions.
Beyond more employed people working reduced hours, there have also been high numbers of recently employed people who have been without work and pay for extended periods of time. These people have dropped out of the employed population, but some have remained attached to a job.
Looking at people outside of employment who have job attachment is useful for a number of reasons, including:
