This article presents indicative state and territory level industry division estimates for the Labour Account jobs and hours worked series. This is the fourth release of the modelled state and territory level estimates, links to previously published state estimates can be accessed from the Further information section at the end of this article.
The estimates produced have been modelled by applying proportional factors to existing balanced national level Labour Accounts data. This proportionally allocated state-based Labour Account data provides useful insights into industries at the state and territory level.
Building a state and territory dimension directly into the compilation processes of the Labour Account is not yet feasible, given the limitations of both resourcing and data sources.
The Labour Account provides the best ABS industry estimates of employment, jobs and hours worked at the national level.
