6202.0.40.001: Labour Force, Teenage Employment and Unemployment, Australia, Preliminary - Data Report DECEMBER 2000 Standard Errors: Standard errors of the original estimates in this report can be determined by using the methods described in the Technical Notes in The Labour Force, Australia (6203.0). Very small estimates are subject to high standard errors (relative to the size of the estimate) which can detract seriously from their value for most general uses. Where estimates and percentages have relative standard errors greater than 25%, they have been identified by an asterisk (e.g. *1.0) to indicate that they are subject to high standard errors and should be used with caution. © Commonwealth of Australia 2001.
