These employment projections are designed to provide a guide to the future direction of the labour market, however, like all such exercises, they are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty.

The 2019 employment projections are based on the forecasted and projected total employment growth rates published in the 2019-20 Budget, the Labour Force Survey (LFS) data (June 2019) for total employment, and the quarterly detailed LFS data (May 2019) for industry employment data.

This dataset presents the results from a survey administered to 309 workers retrenched from the Australian automotive industry during the industry's closures. The survey was conducted between December 2021 and February 2022 and explored workers' labour market preferences, focusing on non-pecuniary job attributes. Respondents, who previously worked in roles marked for redundancy, were asked about their employment attitudes, perceptions of training programs, and preferences for job attributes such as autonomy, skill utilisation, supervision responsibilities, and employer reputation. Participants engaged in stated preference experiments, choosing between hypothetical jobs that varied across attributes like contract type, autonomy, and skill utilisation. The sample, reflecting a representative distribution of demographics from the 2016 Census, included both original equipment manufacturers and supply chain workers. This design provides insights into the labour market preferences of retrenched automotive workers, enhancing understanding of how job quality and meaningful work influence re-employment decisions.
