Anyone who has lost a job will be reflected in ABS unemployment figures, as measured by the Labour Force Survey. The survey does not ask people about their vaccination status or requirements to be vaccinated. The ABS cannot collect this data from the Labour Force Survey as it is a long-standing survey with standard questions which follow international best practice. To provide information during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, ABS undertook a Household Impacts of COVID-19 Survey which included questions around vaccines.
