Australian Labor Force Visualisation

Think the public service is bloated or that small business is the backbone of Australia? Look here.

Sources:


Notes:

The "not participating in the labor force" category is derived by subtracting the total employed and unemployed from the total civilian population aged 15 and over. 

Based on data from the Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman (ASBFEO), large businesses (those with 200 or more employees) employed 4,376,000 people as of June 2023. This figure represents roughly 34% of the total private sector workforce and was used to derive the number employed in Large Businesses.

The "Other Businesses" category is derived by subtracting the number of people employed by large businesses and all public sector employees from the total employed population. Large businesses are defined as those with 200 or more employees, based on data from the Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman (ASBFEO).

Because the data was collected at different time periods, the proportions are slightly out. e.g. July 2025's unemployment rate is actually 4.2%.

Firefox History Statistics - Extracting from Places.sqlite

If you want to take a look at Firefox surfing activity, the about:me add-on is a good start. However, it presents only one view of data and is thus limited in its ability to present more detailed statistics. We will view that data in a different program. So let's first extract it from the browsing history stored in the Places.sqlite file into a CSV file using a Firefox add-on. Step 1 - Locate and copy Places.sqlite to a working location On Windows machines, Places.sqlite is found in a directory similar to: C:\Users\User1\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ .default\places.sqlite Copy the file to another location. The database will be locked while using Firefox, and the SQLite plugin we will use to open it.

Live Long and Prosper

Australia is becoming richer by getting older. Australian household net worth rose from an average of $764,500 in 2011-2012 to $1,022,000 in 2017-2018 . Those under 35 have barely seen any increase. The old, in particular the over-45s, are getting richer faster than the young. Older households are also a greater proportion of the sample, and of the population.

Transcode to PSP using Handbrake

Source: Handbrake 0.9.9.5530 64-bit edition Target: (Phat) Playstation Portable PSP-1000 , System Software: 6.60 Many internet articles on how to transcode video to PSP using Handbrake have not worked for me. Even the most helpful are incomplete. I hope this post will help fill in the blanks. There is no longer any PSP preset for Handbrake, but from what I can gather, the preset had only limited success as the x264 encoder would change syntax and settings between versions. Other presets that may have worked before, like 'iPod' and 'Apple-Universal' now do not. Here is what worked for me, step by step:
