Sectoral Employment Dynamics in Australia and the COVID-19 Pandemic
2020
Abstract We develop a multivariate time series model of employment in 19 sectors for Australia We use this model to determine the long-run effect of a 1% increase in economic activity in any chosen sector on aggregate employment Our findings point to manufacturing and construction sectors as those that generate the largest positive spillovers for the aggregate economy Moreover, we provide an interactive web-based app that produces our model's forecasts based on any user-specified scenario As the restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic evolve, the sectoral employment multipliers together with these interactive tools will provide useful information for policymakers
