This data is derived by Marsden Jacobs Associates (MJA) from Australian Tax Office (ATO) business activity statement data (BAS) within Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Datalab. The data represents the aggregate statistics of confidentialised BAS data, for all businesses within and outside the Murray–Darling Basin.
The measure of 'sum' represents the total number of employees in a Local Government Area (LGA). The measures of 'median' and 'mean" represent the mean and median numbers of employees across businesses in the LGA. The measure of 'counts' represents the number of businesses in the LGA. The LGA of a business is based on the location of its Australian Business Number (ABN). The industry classification of a business is based on the Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC) code for BAS purposes, at ANZSIC 2-digit level. Industries with a low number of observations in an LGA are grouped together to form the 'Other' category due to ABS confidentiality rules.
The key data quality considerations are as follows.
- BAS data is based on the reported location of business, which may not always be the same as the location of business activity.
- Labour data only records employees, not self-employment.
The column headings in the data sheet are described in the metadata.
