Latest DEEWR Leading Indicator of Employment - July 2008
DEEWR's Monthly Leading Indicator of Employment (Indicator) has fallen for six consecutive months. This monthly Indicator anticipates movements in the growth cycle of employment. It does this through the use of a composite index of four weighted series (ANZ Newspaper Job Advertisements, Dun and Bradstreet Employment Expectations, the Westpac Melbourne Institute Leading Indicator of Economic Activity and the Consumer Sentiment Index) statistically ascertained to lead employment growth over the last two decades. The results for July are available from the
DEEWR Leading Indicator page.
