Statistics of the month
The Business Conditions and Sentiments report, the first to be released since June 2021, provides insights into the conditions and sentiments of Australian businesses during the current pandemic. Data collection was conducted through a telephone-based business survey between 27 January and 4 February 2022. The survey includes Employing and Non-Employing Units on the ABS Business Register. However, micro non-employing businesses are excluded.
Key statistics:
- More than 1-in-5 (22%) employing businesses had staff who were unavailable to work due to issues related to COVID-19 in January 2022. Large businesses were more likely than medium and small businesses to report employees being unavailable (65% compared with 54% and 20%)
- More than 2-in-5 businesses in Information media and telecommunications (45%), Rental, hiring and real estate services (44%) and Accommodation and food services (41%) had reduced staff availability due to COVID-19.
- Nearly half (47%) of all businesses are currently experiencing supply chain disruptions, an increase compared to April 2021 (30%):
- In January 2022, 18% of employing businesses did not have enough employees based on current operations, compared to 19% in June 2021 and 12% in March 2021. Those with insufficient employees reported on factors that were influencing the number of staff:
