Explanatory Notes • The monthly Internet Vacancy Index (IVI) is based on a count of online job advertisements newly
lodged on SEEK, MyCareer, CareerOne and Australian JobSearch during the month. Duplicate advertisements are removed before the IVI vacancies are coded by DEEWR to occupations based on the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO). The data are seasonally adjusted and trended, and then indexed (January 2006 = 100).
• The Skilled IVI is based on the aggregation of Professionals and Technicians and Trades Workers. • The Regional IVI was first published in September 2010 and back cast to May 2010. The Regional IVI
concords vacancies to 38 best fit regions across the States and Territories from the four job boards. • Minor changes in the series may occur from month to month due to back casting. The series
published each month is the most up to date at the time and overwrites previous data. • On 10 June 2012, the Resources Sector Jobs Board was launched on the Australian JobSearch
website. In keeping with the IVI methodology, these vacancies are included in the series. • For more information, please contact Carmel O’Regan (02 6240 2599) or email
[email protected]. Any media enquiries should be directed to the DEEWR media unit ([email protected]).
