SEEK Employment Index


Launched in July 2005, the SEEK Employment Index (SEEK EI) is the first Australian indicator to measure labour market supply and correlate this against labour market demand.

Each month, job ad and application data is rigorously analysed using proprietary methods devised jointly by SEEK and the analysts and statisticians from Victoria University's Centre for Strategic Economic Studies (CSES).

The SEEK EI has been specifically created to provide employers, recruiters and policymakers with an ongoing source of rich labour market data, addressing the following issues:

  • Jobseeker supply (relevant also to identifying skills shortages).
  • Industry and regional employment growth.

The SEEK EI aims to be an invaluable tool to assist recruiters and HR professionals acquire a more detailed understanding of labour cycles and emerging trends within the employment industry.

SEEK Employment Index: Historical Data

SEEK is delighted to provide public access to historical data for all the series published in the SEEK Employment Index. SEEK believes that this initiative will greatly facilitate the use and long-term analysis of the SEEK Employment Index.

Compiled by the Centre for Strategic Economic Studies, Victoria University, the historical data are available below and contain three key employment indicators for Australia since October 2001:

  • SEEK Employment Index (EI) - a key indicator of the balance between the demand and supply for jobs in Australia (ie. the ratio of new job advertisements posted on the SEEK website for which SEEK accepts applications via the SEEK website).
  • New Job Ads Index (original).
  • New Job Ads Index (seasonally adjusted).

Estimates are available at both the state and national level.

*Please note: The data in the monthly reports can differ from those in the tables below since the latter are updated data with the actual series of job applications (APPS). The EI data in the monthly reports include a component of APPS that is projected but the tables onsite are updated around the middle of the month with the realised APPS.
