Derived from the Census question, 'What is the total of all wages/salaries, government benefits, pensions, allowances and other income the person usually receives?'
The Individual Income levels of The Hills Shire's regional labour force are directly linked to their knowledge, experience, qualifications and skill levels. Income levels are also linked to employment availability overall and the types of jobs available in the region (which reflects the industry structure of the region).
When viewed in conjunction with the Occupations, Qualifications, Age Structure and Hours Worked, Individual Income statistics in The Hills Shire's regional labour force indicate what knowledge and skill levels local industry can draw upon from the region.
This data describes the total gross weekly income by sex (including pensions and allowances) of persons in the regional labour force. Includes people in the labour force who usually reside in the labour force region regardless of where they work (if working). It should not be assumed that wages and salaries are a person’s only source of income.
Individual incomes are collected as ranges in the Census.
