G7 Labour Force
The data under Labour force survey are from ABS Cat No 6202.0.
The Participation rate is calculated as the labour force (itself the sum of employed persons and unemployed persons) as a
percentage of the civilian population aged 15 years and over.
The Unemployment rate is unemployed persons as a percentage of the labour force.
Aggregate hours worked measures the total number of actual hours worked by employed persons in a calendar month.
The data on Vacancies are from ABS Cat No 6354.0. The data are derived from a survey that covers all employers in
Australia, except the farm sector, private households and overseas diplomatic missions. Vacancies do not include those in
the defence force or those located outside Australia. This series was discontinued by the ABS for 2008/09 and subsequently
reinstated for the November 2009 reference period.
