Census employment data presents the number of persons employed in each industry sector (full-time and part-time) in the City of Monash, at the time of the Census, regardless of where they live.
It is derived from the two Census questions, 'What best describes the business of your employer?' and 'What are the main goods produced or main services provided by your employer's business?'
NOTE: Census employment figures are usually lower than the Estimated Total Employment and Full-time Equivalent Employment figures and should not be used as an accurate measure of jobs per industry. They should be used as the basis for understanding the characteristics of the workers in each industry sector. See data notes for more details.
Employment data is sourced from the ABS Census. It is the total number of persons employed in an industry sector, within the area. For a given industry sector, this number will be the same as that found in the Workforce section of the site (within a small margin of error due to ABS randomisation). For the total of all industries, the number will be slightly less than the total for all industries from the Worker Profiles section, as the summary economic data excludes those people who did not state their industry sector, while the worker profiles include these people.
