Employment in the film and video production and post-production services industry, per quarter, 2006/07

Employment figures fluctuate depending on the productions underway at the time as companies tend to employ more people while they are actively engaged in production, returning to a smaller ‘core’ staff once it is completed. In 2006/07, the Australian Bureau of Statistics collected quarterly employment data for the first time in its Service Industry Survey of the film and video production and post-production services industry. The figures indicate a lull at the end of the first quarter with a notable increase by the end of the financial year, particularly in the production sector when compared to post-production (PDV).
