See all eventsThese three series measure different things. ADI tracks AI language across all advertised hiring. It is a deliberately broad signal and reads higher than measures that require AI to be central to a role. ASDI tracks demand for AI-specialist roles only. ALWR tracks publicly announced workforce reductions linked to AI. The series are not summed. They are not subtracted from one another.
Read this index alongside official Australian datasets: ABS Labour Force, ABS Job Vacancies, JSA Internet Vacancy Index, and the JSA Gen AI Capacity Study.
Source set: Adzuna plus major Australian job boards for advertised roles, and verified Australian workforce-reduction announcements for ALWR. Month-by-month history returns at Edition 1 with a source-stable baseline.
