The two charts illustrate the percentages of three main fields of employment and their jobless

rates in Australia by birth location in 2003.

Overall, most workers in Australia were native, and over the 10-year period from 1993 to 2003,
the unemployment levels in all three categories showed a decreasing trend, and this figure of
NESC remained the highest for all periods.

Regarding workforce position, the large majority in 2003 were people born in Australia,
accounting for 76%. Following that were people from non-English-speaking countries (NESC),
at 14%. This number was slightly higher than that in English-speaking countries, representing
only 10%.

In terms of the unemployment rate, in 1993, this proportion of individuals who were born in
NESC was highest, at approximately 7%, while the figures for ESC and Australian native were
almost equal, at around 4% and 3,8% respectively. Then, for the rest of the period, all three
categories fluctuated and had a dropping trend; the percentage of NESC dropped significantly to
only 3.5%, while the proportions of ESC and Australia decreased to 2% and 1%, respectively.
