* This figure is derived from the 2001 Census of Population and Housing and represents the unemployment rate as at Census day, 7 August, 2001. By contrast, the widely published monthly unemployment rate is derived from the Labour Force Survey which samples approximately 30,000 households across Australia. Due to sample variability, the Labour Force Survey does not provide unemployment estimates for relatively small areas such as State electorates; hence 5-yearly Census data is the only source which can be used for this purpose. 2001 ABS Census of Population and Housing data.
