This site is currently undergoing maintenance and updates of data. Some Employment Service Area data are not currently available (10/06/2008 - 02/07/2008).

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:

• Employment Service Area (ESA) data

This side 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.

• Labour Force Region (LFR) data

This side 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.
