# The Gillard Government’s ‘Fair Work Australia’ Act was implemented on January 1, 2010,
replacing the Howard Government’s ‘Work Choices’ Legislation.
Gary Morgan says:
“The March 2011Roy Morgan employment estimates show rising employment (10,800,000, up 30,000 from February 2011) and a contracting overall workforce due to more people studying and retiring (11,664,000, down 33,000) has led to a significant drop in unemployment (863,000, down 64,000). This is the second successive drop in the Roy Morgan monthly unemployment estimate — now at 7.4% (down 0.5%).
“However, despite the fall in unemployment, Australia’s underemployment (866,000, up 197,000) has risen significantly in March and is now almost identical to its level in January (870,000). The series of flooding disasters along Australia’s east coast led to many Australians volunteering and helping out with the initial clean up over several weeks into February. This community support for reconstruction of flood damaged communities could explain part of the reason for February’s large — but temporary — fall in underemployment.
“Despite news of skills shortages by some in the media, today’s Roy Morgan employment estimates show that there is a significant ‘segment’ of the Australian workforce (14.8%) that is looking for employment or looking for more hours. This is a resource Australia must utilise to continue growing the economy.
“The Roy Morgan unemployment and underemployment estimate (1.729 million) is very similar to a figure quoted by Judith Sloan in an article in Monday’s Australian which mentioned as many as two million Australians who could contribute more — including those on the Disability Support Pension.”
This Roy Morgan survey on Australia’s unemployment and ‘underemployed’* is based on weekly interviews covering January 2007 — March 2011 and in total 220,178 Australians aged 14 and over were interviewed face-to-face including 4,522 interviews in March 2011.
*The ‘underemployed’ are those people who are in part-time work or consultants who are looking for more work. (Unfortunately the ABS does not measure this figure in their monthly unemployment survey.)

The Roy Morgan Unemployment estimate is obtained by surveying an Australia-wide cross section by face-to-face interviews. An unemployed person is classified as part of the labour force if they are looking for work, no matter when. The results are not seasonally adjusted and provide an accurate measure of monthly unemployment estimates in Australia.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics Unemployment estimates are obtained by mostly telephone interviews. Households selected for the ABS Survey are interviewed each month for eight months, with one-eighth of the sample being replaced each month. The first interview is conducted face-to-face. Subsequent interviews are then conducted by telephone.
The ABS classifies an unemployed person as part of the labour force only if, when surveyed, they have been actively looking for work in the four weeks up to the end of the reference week and if they were available for work in the reference week.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics Unemployment estimates are also seasonally adjusted.
For these reasons the Australian Bureau of Statistics Unemployment estimates are different from the Roy Morgan Unemployment estimate.
Gary Morgan's concerns regarding the ABS Unemployment estimate is clearly outlined in his letter to the Australian Financial Review, which was not published!
