Implementing ANZSIC 2006 in the Household Labour Force Survey provides additional detail on the use of a new industrial classification in the Household Labour Force Survey (HLFS). In November 2009, industry results from the September 2009 quarter HLFS will be published using the Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC) 2006. Previous industry results from the HLFS were based on ANZSIC 1996.
This information paper discusses the major changes to industrial groupings resulting from the use of ANZSIC 2006, and how these changes affect the HLFS. The implementation process for the new classification is also summarised. The paper includes a table showing the contribution of ANZSIC 1996 industrial divisions to ANZSIC 2006 industrial divisions, based on dual run results.
Statistics New Zealand welcomes any comments about this paper. It is being released to support the results of the HLFS release in November 2009, and to better inform users on the differences between ANZSIC 1996 and ANZSIC 2006.
