Band 6+: The chart and graph below give information about three categories of workers in Australia and the unemployment levels within those groups. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The chart and graph indicate three categories of workers in Australia and jobless levels in three groups.

In general, the highest workforce was born in Australia. Meanwhile, unemployment usually originates from the ‘Not Elsewhere Classified’ (NEC) group for some reasons.

In the first chart, the most populous labor force was the people who came from Australia, accounting for 76%. With this proportion, it prevailed over the ‘Not Elsewhere Classified’ (NESC) and ‘Elsewhere Classified’ (ESC) groups, which accounted for 14% and 10%.

Regarding joblessness in Australia, we could ascertain that the ‘Not Elsewhere Classified’ (NEC) group was in the top position among other groups in this graph. Within 10 years calculated from 1993 to 2003, approximately 7 percent of people from non-English-speaking countries were unemployed, which is recognized as a record. Despite having been lower than 4%, especially almost 3%, workers born in non-English-speaking countries still became the dominant group of unemployed. That is considered to be quite a sharp reduction. In contrast, the jobless levels in Australia and the ‘Elsewhere Classified’ (ESC) group did not decrease so much. Both of these two groups only mitigated (lowered) by approximately 1%.
