Results from the November 2008 Forms of Employment Survey (FOES) were released on 12 June 2009. The FOES has been released annually since 2004, and prior to this in 2001 and 1998.

For more information see Forms of Employment, Australia, November 2008 (cat. no. 6359.0), available free of charge on the ABS website <www.abs.gov.au>. A CURF for FOES is expected to be released in late 2009.

Final results from the August 2008 Survey of Employee Earnings and Hours (EEH) were released on 17 June 2009 in Employee Earnings and Hours, Australia, August 2008 (cat.no.6306.0).
