On 20 November 2025, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) released the second stage of the Labour Force Survey for October 2025, providing detailed monthly and quarterly data. The release includes estimates of employment, unemployment, underemployment, participation, hours worked, industry, occupation, job duration and retrenchment. Some information, such as industry, occupation, job duration and retrenchment, is only available for February, May, August and November. In non‑quarter months, the quarterly spreadsheets use a different reference period; for example, the May issue contains May monthly data and May quarterly data, while the July issue contains July monthly data and May quarterly data. The ABS also announced that it will stop publishing direct survey estimates for labour market regions (SA4) in the November release and will recommend using modelled estimates instead.
