Um those changes in seasonality generally tend to be pretty slow.
You know, the the the seasonality is quite um pronounced and and quite slow in terms of how it evolves.
Now during the pandemic that was a bit
more challenging because you had so much disruption with people taking holidays, taking leave, um needing breaks, um that and and also just not being able to fill jobs.
So people who would normally have been able to take leave weren't able to take leave because they weren't able to fill um all the all the um jobs within the business.
And so during the pandemic we've actually seen
different periods of time where um more people have taken leave, different periods of time where less than usual kind of leave.
Um, but also seen some ch changes around when people have been starting jobs, changing jobs, finishing up jobs.
Now, we don't know yet exactly how much of that is still these kind of late echo effects um from the pandemic and and whether things will return to a um
um to basically the seasonal patterns that we were seeing immediately before the pandemic or whether there'll be some slight changes and slight behavioural changes, both in terms of how people approach the um the labour market and when they start work and when they take holidays, but also the you know, slight changes in the way that businesses are operating in the in the Australian labour market.
Earlier on we were talking about whether the definitions are consistent between countries.
The other thing is that the definitions are uh consistent over time.
So the the questions that we ask and the concepts that we're using um hold up well over time.
Now there there are
Or there there have been points in the past where there have been small refinements.
And you can certainly jump on the the labor force methodology page and there's a really good chronology that looks at changes that we have made to the survey right from the nineteen sixties through the present.
The way that we define employment and unemployment really hasn't changed for a long time.
And and when it changes, it tends to be small enough that we actually retrospectively adjust historical data to it to align for it.
And that that tells us
That the concepts that we're measuring here are enduring in their importance but also their relevance.
