NOTES FORTHCOMING ISSUES ISSUE RELEASE DATE 10 7 12 9 7 11 2007 ROUNDING Estimates of monthly change shown on the front cover have been calculated using unrounded estimates, and may be different from, but are more accu than, movements obtained from the rounded estimates. The graphs on the front cover also depict unrounded estimates. SAMPLING ERRORS The estimates in this publication are based on a sample survey. Because the entire population is not enumed, the published estimates and the movements derived from them are subject to sampling variability. Standard errors give a measure of this variability and appear on pages 27 and 28. The 95 confidence intervals below provide another way of looking at the variability inherent in estimates from sample surveys. The interval bounded by the two limits is the 95 confidence interval. A 95 confidence interval has a 95 chance of including the true value of the estimate.

WHAT IF...? REVISIONS TO TREND ESTIMATES EFFECT OF NEW SEASONALLY ADJUSTED ESTIMATES ON TREND ESTIMATES TREND REVISIONS Each time new seasonally adjusted estimates become available, trend estimates are revised. This revision is a combined result of the concurrent seasonal adjustment process and the application of surrogates of the Henderson average to the seasonally adjusted series (see paragraphs 21 to 29 of the Explanatory Notes). The examples in the tables below show two illustrative scenarios and the consequent revisions to previous trend estimates of employment and the unemployment. The revisions in the scenarios below are only due to the use of surrogates of the Henderson average, as the impact of revision of the seasonally adjusted estimates can not be estimated in advance. (1) The seasonally adjusted estimate is higher than the estimate by: 0.26 for employment 1.80 for the unemployment (2) The seasonally adjusted estimate is lower than the estimate by: 0.26 for employment 1.80 for the unemployment The percentage changes of 0.26 and 1.80 were chosen because they represent the average absolute monthly percentage changes in employment and the unemployment respectively.

EXPLANATORY NOTES INTRODUCTION CONCEPTS, SOURCES AND METHODS LABOUR FORCE SURVEY SCOPE OF SURVEY COVERAGE 1 This publication contains estimates of the civilian labour force derived from the Labour Force Survey component of the Monthly Population Survey. The full time series for estimates from this publication are also available electronically see Labour Force, Australia, Spreadsheets (cat. no. 6202.01). More detailed estimates are released one week after this publication in various electronic formats see Labour Force, Australia, Detailed Electronic Delivery (cat. no. 6291) and Labour Force, Australia, Detailed, Quarterly (cat. no. 6293). 2 The conceptual frame used in Australia s Labour Force Survey aligns closely with the standards and guidelines set out in Resolutions of International Conferences of Labour Statisticians. Descriptions of the underlying conce and structure of Australia's labour force statistics, and the sources and methods used in compiling the estimates, are presented in Labour Statistics: Conce, Sources and Methods (cat. no. 6102.01) which is available on the ABS web site <http://www.abs.gov.au> (Methods, Classifications, Conce & Standards). 3 The Labour Force Survey is based on a multi-stage area sample of private dwellings (currently about 30,000 houses, flats, etc.) and a list sample of non-private dwellings (hotels, motels, etc.), and covers about 5 of the population of Australia. Information is obtained from the occupants of selected dwellings by specially trained interviewers. 4 The information is collected using computer-assisted interviewing (CAI), whereby responses are recorded directly onto an electronic questionnaire on a notebook computer. The CAI method was progressively implemented from 2003 to 2004, replacing the 'pen and paper' method previously used. 5 Households selected for the Labour Force Survey are interviewed each month for eight months, with one-eighth of the sample being replaced each month. The first interview is conducted face-to-face. Subsequent interviews are conducted by telephone (if acceptable to the respondent). 6 The interviews are generally conducted during the two weeks beginning on the Monday between the 6th and 12th of each month. The information obtained relates to the week before the interview (i.e. the reference week). Each year, to deal with operational difficulties involved with collecting and processing the Labour Force Survey around the Christmas and New Year holiday period, interviews for start four weeks after interviews start, and interviews start five weeks after interviews start. As a result, interviewing may commence as early as the 8th or as late as the 14th, depending on the year. Occasionally, circumstances that present significant operational difficulties for survey collection can result in a change to the normal pattern for the start of interviewing. 7 Estimates from the Labour Force Survey are published first in this publication 31 days after the commencement of interviews for that month, with the exception of estimates for each which are published 38 days after the commencement of interviews. 8 The Labour Force Survey includes all persons aged 15 years and over except members of the permanent defence forces, certain diplomatic personnel of overseas governments customarily excluded from census and estimated population counts, overseas residents in Australia, and members of non-australian defence forces (and their dependants) stationed in Australia. 9 In the Labour Force Survey, coverage rules are applied which aim to ensure that each person is associated with only one dwelling, and hence has only one chance of selection. The coverage rules are necessarily a balance between theoretical and operational considerations. Nevertheless, the chance of a person being enumed at two sepa dwellings in the survey is considered to be negligible. ABS LABOUR FORCE 6202.0 JUN 23

EXPLANATORY NOTES continued POPULATION BENCHMARKS COMPARABILITY OF SERIES SURVEY SAMPLE REDESIGN 10 Labour Force Survey estimates are calculated in such a way as to add up to independent estimates of the civilian population aged 15 years and over (population benchmarks). From 2004, labour force estimates have been compiled using benchmarks based on the results of the 2001 Census of Population and Housing. Revisions were made to historical estimates from 1999 to 2004. 11 From 1986, the definition of employed persons was changed to include persons who ed without pay between 1 and 14 hours per week in a family business or on a farm (i.e. contributing family ers). For further information, see paragraphs 36 and 37 of the Explanatory Notes to the 1987 issue of Labour Force, Australia (cat. no. 620). 12 The ABS introduced telephone interviewing into the Labour Force Survey in 1996. Implementation was phased in for each new sample group from 1996 to 1997. During the period of implementation, the new method produced different estimates than would have been obtained under the old methodology. The effect dissipated over the final months of implementation and was no longer discernible from 1997. The estimates for 1997 and onwards are directly comparable to estimates for periods prior to 1996. For further details, see the feature article in the 1997 issue of Labour Force, Australia (cat. no. 620). 13 From 2001 the Labour Force Survey has been conducted using a redesigned questionnaire containing additional data items and some minor definitional changes. The definition of unemployed persons was changed to include all persons who were waiting to start and were available to start in the reference week. This change was introduced in 2004, when historical unit record data were revised from 2001 to 2004. This revision created a small trend break at 2001 in unemployed persons and unemployment series. For further details, see Information Paper: Forthcoming Changes to Labour Force Statistics (cat. no. 6292.0). 14 Core labour force series were revised in 2001 for the period 1986 to 2001 for the remaining definitional changes introduced with the redesigned questionnaire, to reduce the impact of the changes on labour force series. For further details, see Information Paper: Implementing the Redesigned Labour Force Survey Questionnaire (cat. no. 629) and Information Paper: Questionnaires Used in the Labour Force Survey (cat. no. 6232.0). 15 The Labour Force Survey sample was last reselected using information collected in the 2001 Census of Population and Housing. 16 The bulk of the new sample was phased in over the period 2002 to 2003, with one-eighth of this portion of the sample being introduced every month. The remainder of the sample (about 18 of the total), which covers less settled areas of Australia and non-private dwellings was rotated in full for New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, Northern Territory and Australian Capital Territory in 2002, and for Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia in 2002. Such a pattern of implementation means that any changes to labour force estimates due to differences between the two samples, or any other influences, were spread over the eight months. 17 For further details, see Information Paper: Labour Force Survey Sample Design (cat. no. 6269.0) and Technical Report: New Labour Force Survey sample selections: analysis of the effect on estimates in the 2003 issue of Australian Labour Market Statistics (cat. no. 610). 24 ABS LABOUR FORCE 6202.0 JUN

EXPLANATORY NOTES continued RELIABILITY OF ESTIMATES SEASONAL ADJUSTMENT AND TREND ESTIMATION 18 Two types of error are possible in an estimate based on a sample survey: sampling error and non-sampling error. 19 Sampling error occurs because a sample, rather than the entire population, is surveyed. One measure of the likely difference resulting from not including all dwellings in the survey is given by the standard error. There are about two chances in three that a sample estimate will differ by less than one standard error from the figure that would have been obtained if all dwellings had been included in the survey, and about nineteen chances in twenty that the difference will be less than two standard errors. Standard errors of estimates for the latest month and of estimates of movements since the previous month are shown on pages 27 and 28. Standard errors of other estimates and other movements may be determined by using information in the paper Labour Force Survey Standard Errors (cat. no. 6298.0) which is available free of charge on the ABS web site <http://www.abs.gov.au> (Statistics). 20 Non-sampling error arises from inaccuracies in collecting, recording and processing the data. Every effort is made to minimise reporting error by the careful design of questionnaires, intensive training and supervision of interviewers, and efficient data processing procedures. Non-sampling error also arises because information cannot be obtained from all persons selected in the survey. The Labour Force Survey receives a high level of co-operation from individuals in selected dwellings, with the average response over the last year being 95. See Glossary for definition of response. 21 Seasonal adjustment is a means of removing the estimated effects of normal seasonal variation from the series so that the effects of other influences on the series can be more clearly recognised. Seasonal adjustment does not aim to remove the irregular or non-seasonal influences which may be present in any particular month. This means that month-to-month movements of the seasonally adjusted estimates may not be reliable indicators of trend behaviour. 22 The Labour Force Survey uses the concurrent seasonal adjustment method to derive seasonal factors. Concurrent seasonal adjustment uses data up to the current month to estimate seasonal factors for the current and all previous months. This process can result in revisions each month to estimates for earlier periods. However, in most instances, the only noticeable revisions will be to the seasonally adjusted estimates for the previous month and one year prior to the current month. 23 Seasonal adjustment is able to remove the effect of events which occur at the same time in the survey every year. However, there are some events, like holidays, which are not always at the same time in the survey cycle or which are not at the same time across Australia. The effects of these types of events on LFS estimates cannot in all cases be removed, because the pattern of their effects cannot be determined. However, two events which are adjusted for in the seasonally adjusted series are the interview start date and the timing of Easter. 24 For more information on concurrent seasonal adjustment and survey proximity to holiday periods, see Information Paper: Forthcoming Changes to Labour Force Statistics (cat. no. 6292.0) released in 2003. 25 While seasonal factors for the complete time series are estimated each month, they will continue to be reviewed annually at a more detailed level to take into account each additional year's original data. This annual review will not normally result in significant changes to published estimates. The review will be conducted in each year with the results released in the issue of this publication.
