Unemployment Figures

The Hon. J.S. LEE (14:42): I have a supplementary question: of those hours that have been created, in what areas are the jobs, in what sector, and how many FTE jobs really have been created?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy) (14:42): They are the total number of hours worked regardless of the categorisation of full-time, casual or part-time employment. That is the total number of extra hours worked right across the different categorisations of how people are employed. The ABS, unfortunately, does not do monthly breakdowns of figures in terms of sectors where people are employed. I can go back and have a look as there are snapshot figures of the different industries in which people are employed. I am happy to go away and bring back an answer but that is certainly not something that the ABS releases on the third Thursday of every month.
