This dataset presents the footprint of statistics related to the employment and income of individuals of 'prime working age' - that is between 25 and 65 years old. This ensures a focus on the segment of the population most likely to be available for employment and excludes most people still engaged in post-school education. The data spans the year of 2011 and is aggregated to State Suburbs (SSC) from the 2011 Australian Standard Geographical Classification (ASGC).
