# 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 June 2011Roy Morgan employment estimates show the total number employed in Australia at a record high 11,220,000 (up 156,000 from May 2011) — mainly driven by a surge in full-time employment to 7,640,000 (up 131,000). Part-time employment also rose strongly in June to 3,580,000 (up 25,000).
“Unemployment in June rose slightly since May to 845,000 (7.0%), up 27,000 (0.1%) while underemployment was virtually unchanged at 862,000 (7.1%), down 2,000 (0.2%). However, considering a longer time period over the past 12 months unemployment is now up 163,000 (1.1%) and underemployment is up 109,000 (0.6%) since June 2010.
“Monthly employment has now increased for four straight months — up 450,000 since February with an increase of 172,000 full-time jobs and 278,000 part-time jobs during this period suggesting the economy has rebounded from the natural disasters earlier this year. However, despite this growth, overall employment has only increased 100,000 since October 2010 (11,120,000).
“There is also a real question around whether people are working as many hours — the Roy Morgan hours worked data showed that during the Global Financial Crisis ‘hours worked’ dropped from 1.648 billion hours worked in October 2008 to a low of 1.412 billion hours worked in January 2009 — a drop of 236 million hours worked, or 14.32%, in only three months.
“The latest indications are that although unemployment has been trending down slightly this year, the total monthly hours worked peaked in October 2010 at 1.787 billion hours and has dropped significantly this year despite the growth in the Australian workforce. The latest data on hours worked in the Australian economy will be released early next week.”
This Roy Morgan survey on Australia’s unemployment and ‘underemployed’* is based on weekly interviews covering January 2007 — June 2011 and in total 233,216 Australians aged 14 and over were interviewed face-to-face including 4,684 interviews in June 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!
