Following on from the paper on Attitudinal Segmentation of Job Seekers – An Australian Model released in May 2002 the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations has continued its programme of research on the impact of attitudes on success in job search. The paper discusses a range of projects including the quantitative results from surveys conducted in 2001, an analysis of administrative data following from the surveys, and discusses some of the results from the first wave of a longitudinal survey of job seekers. The main focus of the paper will be the results from the first wave of the longitudinal survey which covers attitudes to job search, work, government assistance and support networks. It also collects a range of information on job search activity, work and living arrangements, and personal circumstances.
