1. Labour Market Assistance Outcomes - Overview

This publication presents the employment and education outcomes of job seekers in Job Services Australia (JSA), Disability Employment Services (DES) and Indigenous Employment Program (IEP) for the year ending September 2011.

The key information on employment and education outcomes is based on survey responses collected through DEEWR's Post Program Monitoring Survey, which is conductedaround three months after job seekers have been assisted in employment services.

The outcomes refer to the labour market and education status of job seekers at the time of the survey.

  • An employment outcome is achieved when a job seeker indicates they are employed.
  • An education outcome is achieved when a job seeker indicates they are studying or training.
  • A positive outcome is achieved when a job seeker indicates they are working and/or studying/training.

Since the publication of the June 2011 report, some ‘in-scope populations’ for the tables 1.1–2.5 and 2.7 were revised. As a result, comparisons between those in-scope populations for June and September may show larger than expected variation. While these revisions have had minimal impact on related outcome rates, comparisons between in-scope populations should be interpreted with caution.

Key Observations - September 2011

The employment and education outcome rates for JSA Streams 1-4 for the 12 month period ending September 2011 are comparable to the previous 12 months ending June 2011.
  • Overall, employment outcomes were achieved by 47.7% of job seekers assisted in JSA Streams 1-4 in the year ending September 2011, compared to 47.6 % in the year ending June 2011.
  • Overall, education outcomes were achieved by 20% of job seekers assisted in JSA Streams 1-4 in the year ending September 2011 compared to 19% in the year ending June 2011.
The outcomes for Stream 4 job seekers have continued to improve with:
  • employment outcomes at 28.5% in the year ending September 2011 compared to 25.4% in the year ending June 2011; and
  • education outcomes increasing to 18.1% in the year ending September 2011 compared to 16.1% in the year ending June 2011.
The results for the year ending September 2011 also show that:
  • 47.3% of job seekers were either working or studying/training, or both, following participation in an activity undertaken during the Work Experience Phase;
  • 60.4% of job seekers who were employed following participation in DES employment assistance/post placement support were working in casual, seasonal or temporary employment; and
  • 26.6% of job seekers who were employed following participation in IEP employment related activities were combining work with studying.

This table refers to outcomes for job seekers who participated in employment assistance in the 12 months to June 2011, with outcomes measured around 3 months later.

The 'In-scope population' varies across programs and services. The in-scope populations were revised since the publication of the June 2011 report. Comparisons between the in-scope populations for June and September may show larger than expected variation. While these revisions have had minimal impact on related outcome rates, comparisons between in-scope populations should be interpreted with caution.
