Unemployment [figures]? (1 Viewer)

[Jago]

Okay, so the unemployment rate right now is 5.1% but is there a place where i can find figures for different sections of unemployment?
eg. structural unemployment = xx.xx% of total unemployment. I've tried the ABS but i have trouble finding info there.

also, where do i go to find labour force/participation rates? I need the most recent statistics for the next assessment task

Try RBA, ABS is a pain, you need subscription to access some parts of it and its all jumbled up IMO.

Thanks D, what about stuff like cyclical, structural, seasonal unemployment, etc?

Its too hard to measure those. Oh btw, make sure you get down all main macroeconomic indicators before your exams (inflation, unemployment, growth, CAD etc...).

it's a prepared essay.

my topic is gonna be unemployment, so i wanted to show off a little bit with different stats. oh well, thanks anyway.

You dont need to know specific ststistics for each of the sections of unemployment but knowing which ones are low compared to the others and reasons for them being so low/high may be able to give you the same results.
