Latest (February 2008) DEEWR Leading Indicator of Employment
DEEWR’s Monthly Leading Indicator of Employment (Indicator) has now been rising for four 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 Index of Economic Activity and the Consumer Sentiment Index) that have been shown to lead employment growth over the last 30 years. The results for February 2008 are available from the
DEEWR Leading Indicators of Employment page.
