Jobs per ANZSIC for Blocks: Melbourne Employment Data 2002-2024

Employment data from the City of Melbourne's Census of Land Use and Employment (CLUE) covering 2002 to 2024. It shows the number of jobs in the municipality, classified by ANZSIC industry and allocated to small areas. The data has been confidentialised to protect business information, with cells representing two or fewer businesses suppressed.

Use Cases

• Analyzing municipal employment trends over time based on the 2002-2024 coverage.
• Mapping industry distribution across small areas based on the ANZSIC classification and block allocation.
• Assessing the impact of data suppression on local economic analysis based on the confidentialisation method.

Strengths

• Covers a 22-year time series from 2002 to 2024.
• Provides row totals that include suppressed data, offering a more complete picture.
• Links to spatial files and classification system documentation for contextual understanding.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to data_gov_au, being specific to the City of Melbourne.
