MEDIA RELEASE
25,000 Small Business Operators in the ACT: ABS There were 25,000 small business operators in the ACT last June and two-thirds of them worked from home, according to analysis released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) today. More than two-thirds (68% or 17,000) of these operators were men. More than half (54%) of all small business operators in the ACT were aged between 30-50 (up from 49% in June 2003). A further 34% were over 50 years and 13% were under 30 years. The ACT matched the national average with most (44%) small business operators working 35-50 hours in June 2004. Male small business operators were more likely to work full-time than part-time (77% and 23% respectively). The reverse was true for female small business operators who worked part-time more than full-time (66% and 34% respectively). ACT small businesses use of computers (77%) and access to the internet (72%) was greater than small businesses in any other state or territory. Further details are available in ACT Stats: Characteristics of a Small Business (cat. no. 1344.0.8.55.001). Document Selection These documents will be presented in a new window.
