This dataset presents data on the labour force categorised by age and sex, available from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Labour Force statistics. This dataset is based on Statistical Area Level 4 (SA4) from the 2011 Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS), and covers data for individual months between October 1998 and June 2020. Labour Force statistics are compiled from the Labour Force Survey which is conducted each month throughout Australia as part of the ABS household survey program. The Labour Force Survey provides monthly information about the labour market activity of Australia's resident civilian population aged 15 years and over. The Labour Force Survey is designed to primarily provide estimates of employment and unemployment for the whole of Australia and, secondarily, for each state and territory. This data is ABS data (catalogue number: 6291.0.55.001) used with permission from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. For more information please visit the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Notes:

AURIN has restructured and spatially enabled the original data using the 2011 SA4 Boundaries.
