This dataset presents aggregated data regarding employed persons within the relevant statistical regions, including the number of employee jobs and median employee income per job by sex, classified by Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2). The data spans from 2014-15 to 2018-19 financial year and is aggregated to the 2016 SA2 boundaries.
Jobs in Australia provide aggregate statistics and are sourced from the Linked Employer-Employee Dataset (LEED). It provides new information about filled jobs in Australia, the people who hold them, and their employers. Employee person refers to any person with one or more job. Employed persons in this publication can be employees, owner-managers of unincorporated enterprises, or both. Employed persons are persons who have employment income in the reference year, excluding those whose employment income is made up entirely of an employment termination payment. Employed persons have one or more jobs on the job file.
The job counts in this release differ from the filled job estimates from other sources such as the Australian Labour Account and the Labour Force Australia. The Jobs in Australia release provides insights into all jobs held throughout the year, while the Labour Account data provides the number of filled jobs at a point-in-time each quarter (and annually for the financial year reference period), and Labour Force Survey data measures the number of people employed each month.

This release provides statistics on the number and nature of jobs, the people who hold them, and their employers. These statistics can be used to understand regional labour markets or to identify the impact of major changes in local communities. The release also provides new insights into the number of jobs people hold, the duration of jobs, and the industries and employment income of concurrent jobs.
The scope of these data includes individuals who submitted an individual tax return to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), individuals who had a Pay As You Go (PAYG) payment summary issued by an employer and their employers.
AURIN has spatially enabled the original data. The following additional changes were made:
-
Totals are higher than the sum of their components due to missing information in the underlying data.
-
Where data was not published for confidential reasons, "np" in the original data, the records have been set to null.
