Yes, I understand that it is the same definition that has been used for 30 years, but the point here is that there has been a significant shift in employment, a strong shift to casual and temporary employees. If anybody working an hour a week is classed as employed, I do not think that is an accurate reflection of what our employment market is in the year 2006.
