Employment by industry and occupation
Corroborates the 2025 occupation totals, but the live chart keeps the more granular occupation, sex, and employment-status table.
1990 to 2025 / updated 29 Jan 2026
Employment by occupation and age group
Useful for future age context, but not mixed into the current occupation-level labour signal.
2000 to 2025 / updated 29 Jan 2026
Employment by occupation and industry
Useful for future industry drill-downs, but the current chart avoids adding another dimension until a clearer interaction model is approved.
2010 to 2025 / updated 27 Mar 2026
Gross income by occupation
Current official income context exists, but it is not shown as a pay mode until a separate income metric contract and explanation are approved.
2010 to 2025 / updated 27 Mar 2026
Changes in employment by sector
Current macro context, but sector movement is not directly comparable with the occupation treemap.
1991-Q1 to 2026-Q2 / updated 12 Oct 2026
Job vacancies by industry and occupational group
Useful as future demand context; the live chart uses occupation-level vacancy rate to avoid mixing counts and rates.
1990-Q1 to 2026-Q2 / updated 12 Oct 2026
Job vacancy count by occupation
Complements the live vacancy-rate signal with counts, but the chart avoids mixing vacancy counts and vacancy rates in one mode.
1998-Q1 to 2026-Q2 / updated 22 Sept 2026
Recruitment rate by occupation
Useful for future hiring-flow analysis, but the current demand mode stays on vacancy rate for a single clear public signal.
1998-Q1 to 2026-Q2 / updated 22 Sept 2026
Retrenched employees by industry and occupational group
Useful as future displacement-risk context, but it needs a separate model before being mapped to occupations.
1998-Q1 to 2026-Q2 / updated 7 Oct 2026
Retrenched employees by occupation
Direct occupation-level displacement context, but not mixed into the current chart until a separate risk model is approved.
1998-Q1 to 2026-Q2 / updated 22 Sept 2026
Recruitment rate by industry and occupational group
Useful as future labour-flow context; not mixed with the current vacancy-rate demand proxy.
1990 to 2025 / updated 19 Mar 2026
Re-entry rate by occupation
Useful for future recovery-after-retrenchment context, but it should stay separate from the current churn signal.
2000-Q1 to 2026-Q2 / updated 6 Oct 2026
Re-entry into employment rate
Useful as future recovery context, but it is not occupation-level chart data.
1997-Q1 to 2026-Q2 / updated 12 Oct 2026
Why pay is not in the chart
Pay is kept separate. The latest official pay table is older than the other measures, so we do not show it as a live change signal.
