Labour Market Information Portal
The Labour Market Information Portal (LMIP) provides up to date labour market information to help people to better understand their local area.
Information on the site has been divided into two distinct sections:
This area of the site provides information on Centrelink recipients and those who are engaged with Job Network. These data are available by allowance type and age groups. Each ESA also contains an area profile, which includes the current employment rate for the region and job seeker data. Data are available at the national, Labour Market Region and ESA level.
This area of the site includes the proposed Employment Service Area and Labour Market Region boundaries for the Employment Services 2009-12 contract and replicates the information that is available through the current ESA data channel. Extra data information on the new ESAs can be accessed at the following link.
There are two tabs of data within the attached excel spreadsheet.
Programme Referrals for 2007/2008
Referrals data on LMIP
The referrals data provided on the LMIP is a count of all referrals made for JNS, PSP and JPET over the 2007/08 financial year. This is a total transactional count of all referrals made in EA3000 over the financial year and includes;
- Referrals from all sources, including Centrelink and for direct registrations made by Job Network providers.
- All initial referrals, and re-referrals where a jobseeker returns to the same provider within 12 months; and
- All Transfer referrals
- Referrals for both FJNE and JSSO jobseekers.
JSCI Bandwidths Used for Referral data
The data provided is based on the application of the current JSCI as at the time of jobseeker referral. It does not take into consideration JCA results and that a job seeker’s JSCI can be updated after referral. Note that the historical Referral data by JSCI bandwidth is not a projection of service Stream flows and that the JSCI, a major determinant of service Stream eligibility, is currently under review. Any changes to the JSCI will be introduced in time for the commencement of the new Employment Services on 1 July 2009. Further information on the JSCI is at www.workplace.gov.au/jsci.
Current Caseload Data as at 19 September 2008
The data is a measure of all fully eligible active job seekers in Job Network, JPET, PSP or the PSP waitlist as at 19 September 2008. The caseload has been indicatively mapped to the streamed services to be delivered from the start of the new employment services arrangements.
Please note:
- Data at the Employment Service Area (ESA) and Labour Market Region (LMR) levels are derived by summing administrative data at the postcode level of aggregation. For the few postcodes that do not fall entirely within a single ESA, a population-weighted concordance method is used to distribute the postcode data between the overlapped ESAs. For these ESAs and their parent LMRs, the concordance method may lead to small errors. These numbers may not accurately reflect contract referrals.
This area of the site provides information on the labour market, including employment by industry and occupation. These data are available by gender and full-time/part-time status. Population profiles by age group and labour force status are also available. Each LFR also contains an area profile, which includes the current unemployment rate, employment rate and participation rate for the region. Data are available at the national, state and LFR level.
