This publication presents summary data on selected cultural occupations and industries
from the 2011 Census of Population and Housing. The tables show the number of
'culturally' employed persons in Australia classified by the occupation of their main job
and their industry of employment. They also include cross-tabulations with variables
such as age, income and hours worked.
Comparisons with the 2006 Census are shown using the Australian and New Zealand
Standard Industrial Classification 2006 and Australian and New Zealand Standard
Classification of Occupations. The 2001 Census was coded using a different set of
industry and occupation classifications and so comparisons with that Census are not
possible.
The data in this publication are aligned, where possible, with the categories specified in
the Occupation and Industry Classifications of the Australian Culture and Leisure
Classifications (ACLC) (Second Edition) (cat. no. 4902.0) which was released in 2008.
Occupations and industries are considered as 'cultural' based on inclusion in the ACLC.
Information on terms used in the publication can be found in the Explanatory notes.
More detailed information on the classifications used in the Census is available in the
Census Dictionary, 2011 (cat. no. 2901.0).

In 2011, the Census of Population and Housing collected information on the type of paid
work people did in their main job, that is, the one in which they usually worked the most
hours.
This chapter focusses on the percentage change in employment in cultural occupations
and industries between 2006 and 2011. Details about the number of people employed in
cultural occupations and industries in 2011 should be reported from chapters 3 and 4.
The number of people employed in cultural occupations for their main job increased by
9.1% between 2006 and 2011. The number of females employed in cultural occupations
increased 12.8% between 2006 and 2011, while the number of males increased by 6.1%.
The number of people employed in cultural industries for their main job increased
between 2006 and 2011 by 3.4%. The number of females employed in cultural industries
increased by 3.9% between 2006 and 2011, while the number of males rose 3.0%. (Tables
1.1 and 1.2)
The cultural occupations which recorded a percentage increase in main job employment
greater than 40% were Web Developer, Book or Script Editor, Make Up Artist, Civil
Celebrant, Web Designer, Environmental manager, Copywriter, and Multimedia
Designer. (Table 1.1)
For cultural industries, the largest percentage increases in main job employment
occurred in the Internet Publishing and Broadcasting industry (96.1%), Creative Artists,
Musicians, Writers and Performers industry (42.9%) and the Post-Production Services and
Other Motion Picture and Video Activities industry (34.6%). (Table 1.2)

This publication presents summary data on selected cultural occupations and industries
from the 2011 Census of Population and Housing. The tables show the number and
selected characteristics, such as age, income and hours worked, of persons in Australia
employed in cultural occupations and cultural industries for their main job. Occupations
and industries are considered as 'cultural' based on inclusion in the Australian Culture
and Leisure Classifications (ACLC) (Second Edition) (cat. no. 4902.0). Occupation is
collected in the Census for all employed people aged 15 years and over. The occupation
data for 2011 are coded to the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of
Occupations (ANZSCO) First Edition, Revision 1 (cat. no. 1220.0). The industry
classification, Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification
(ANZSIC) 2006 (Revision 1.0) (cat.no. 1292.0) was used to classify the responses to the
industry questions for the 2011 Census.

Note: The figures for Cultural industries in the previous diagram exclude not stated and
inadequately described.
This chapter presents information about persons employed in a cultural occupation (as
classified by the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations
(ANZSCO) 2006 (cat. no. 1220.0) or a cultural industry (as classified by the Australian
and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC) 2006 (Revision 1.0) (cat.
no. 1292.0)) for their main job.
The 2011 Census found that 3.1% (310,725 persons) of employed persons in Australia
worked in a cultural occupation. The Census also found that some 3.6% (358,162
persons) of employed people worked in a cultural industry. (Table 2.1)
The following diagram summarises ways in which people can be 'culturally' employed.
They can either work in a cultural occupation in a cultural industry; in a cultural
occupation but not in a cultural industry; or in a non-cultural occupation but in a cultural
industry. In 2011, a large proportion of the people who were employed in a cultural
occupation worked in a non-cultural industry (42.3% or 131,318 persons). A librarian
employed in a university is an example of a cultural occupation within a non-cultural
industry. (Table 2.1)

Around half of the people employed in a cultural industry worked in a non-cultural
occupation (50.6% or 181,142 persons). A cleaner employed in an art gallery is an
example of a non-cultural occupation within a cultural industry. The relationship
between the employment in cultural occupations and cultural industries is illustrated by
the diagram above. (Table 2.1)

! worked for payment or profit, or as an unpaid helper in a family business;
! had a job from which they were on holidays or paid leave; or
! were on strike or temporarily stood down.
9 Persons who worked in a voluntary capacity are not classified as employed persons.
10 If a person had more than one job in the week prior to the Census, then 'main job'
refers to the job in which the person usually worked the most hours.

4 Each stage of the Census is subject to stringent quality assurance procedures to
ensure data of the highest quality. However, in a Census there are potential sources of
error such as undercounting, respondent error and processing error.
5 Random adjustment of the data is considered to be the most satisfactory technique
for avoiding the release of confidential Census data. When the technique is applied, small
random adjustments are made which allow the maximum amount of detailed Census
data possible to be released without breaching confidentiality. These adjustments result
in small introduced random errors.
6 The column and row totals in individual tables are derived after the random
adjustment process has been applied, and consequently may include random error.
Thus, comparisons between table totals may show some minor discrepancies.
7 Care should be taken when interpreting cells with small numbers, since
randomisation, as well as possible respondent and processing errors, have a greater
impact on small cells than on larger cells. Further, some small cells have been randomly
altered to zero. Caution should be exercised in deducing that there are no people having
these particular characteristics.

1 This publication presents key characteristics of persons in Australia who worked in a
cultural occupation or industry in the week before the 2011 Census of Population and
Housing.
2 The Census counts every person who spent Census night (9 August 2011) in
Australia. This includes Australian residents in Antarctica and people in the territories of
Jervis Bay, Cocos (Keeling) Islands and Christmas Island. The other Australian External
Territories, Norfolk Island and minor islands such as Heard and McDonald Islands, are
outside the scope of the Australian Census.
3 Although overseas visitors in Australia on Census night were included in the Census
count, this publication excludes them in all tabulations.

21 ABS publications draw extensively on information provided freely by individuals,
businesses, governments and other organisations. Their continued cooperation is very
much appreciated; without it, the wide range of statistics published by the ABS would
not be available. Information received by the ABS is treated in strict confidence as
required by the Census and Statistics Act 1905.

20 This variable records the number of hours worked in all jobs during the week prior
to Census night, by employed people aged 15 years and over. This excludes any time off
but includes any overtime or extra time worked.

18 For the 2011 Census, each person aged 15 years and over was asked to indicate the
range within which their total personal income from all sources lies (rather than their
exact income).
19 Total personal income (weekly) indicates the total income that the person usually
receives each week prior to any deductions of tax, superannuation contributions, health
insurance, amounts salary sacrificed, or any other automatic deductions. It includes
wages, salaries, regular overtime, commissions and bonuses, interest, dividends, rents
(less expenses of operation), business and farm income (less expenses of operation),
income from superannuation, and government pensions and allowances (including
family tax benefit, parenting payment, unemployment benefits, Newstart allowance, rent
assistance, pensions, student allowances, maintenance (child support), and workers'
compensation).

15 For persons born overseas, the group main English speaking countries comprises
the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland), the Republic of
Ireland, New Zealand, Canada, United States of America and South Africa. The remaining
countries in the classification (excluding Australia) comprise the 'non-English speaking
countries' for this publication.
16 The list of main English speaking countries provided here is not an attempt to
classify countries on the basis of whether or not English is the predominant or official
language of each country. It is a list of the main countries from which Australia receives,
or has received, significant numbers of overseas settlers who are likely to speak English.
The list therefore includes South Africa. Although large numbers of South Africans do
not speak English as their first language, those who migrate to Australia are likely to
speak English. The list does not include countries which are statistically insignificant in
the Australian context, although they are English speaking countries.
17 A person is defined to be of Indigenous origin if he or she identifies himself or
herself as of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander origin.

13 In the 2011 Census, industry was coded according to the Australian and New
Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC) 2006 (Revision 1.0) (cat. no.
1292.0). A modified version of the ANZSIC classification is used for the Census which
incorporates not further defined (nfd) classes in addition to the normal defined classes.
If a response did not provide sufficient information in the Census to be coded to an
industry class, the nfd class is applied.
14 Cultural industries were selected by matching ANZSIC codes to the Industry
Classification of the ACLC. ACLC industry codes are generally much finer than the
ANZSIC codes used by the Census. In some cases, the ANZSIC codes associated with the
cultural industries in the ACLC also contain non-cultural industries.

12 Cultural occupations were selected on the basis of inclusion in the Occupation
Classification in the Australian Culture and Leisure Classifications (ACLC) (Second
Edition) (cat. no. 4902.0).
