Notes

The figure in the margin is the sum of the regions the publisher reports on, added here rather than published as a national total by Jobs and Skills Australia. Its regions cover Australia exactly once, so the sum is well defined, but it is our arithmetic and not their figure.
The Internet Vacancy Index counts advertisements appearing on a defined set of job boards. It is an indicator of advertising activity, not a measure of total Australian vacancies.
Two reference periods are held, so this page states a month and its change on the month before. That is a comparison, not a trend, and it is deliberately not drawn as one.
