Honestly I'm having a hard time believing you're really this dense.
Go to page 4 of the ABS PDF that Ves linked to. It has the Nov and Dec 2014 for each state.
It doesn't say 6.1% for Queensland. The 6.1% is in the Australian column.I believe this is where the variation comes into the equation.... The data I quoted (6.1%) was actual unemployment figures according to to the Queensland Government Statistics......The figure of 6.6% Ves is quoting was only a trend by the ABS and was seasonally adjusted in December 2014 to 6.1%.
Do you agree with that?

It also says in the footnotes down the bottom:
Just to clarify I was talking about the page you linked from the QLD Gov site, not the ABS report I linked. Which is where you copy/pasted the figures from in the post that you made and I quoted.Well, actually it does mention QUEENSLAND......You will note the trends and then to the right are the seasonally adjusted figures which indicates very clearly 6.1% in December 2014 on page 4 ABS....I would say the seasonally adjusted figures would take precedent over trend figures which you seem to be referring to.
Hey sport, watch your tongue, Joe Blow is doing his best to stamp out character assassination and ridicule.
Most of us are fulfilling his request...So do the right thing and keep it clean.

Refer post #1324.Well, if you are referring to the link I presented from the Queensland Government statistician, it clearly shows 6.1% and not 6.6%....So I am not sure what you are trying to clarify.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics has advised Fact Check that trend data, as opposed to seasonally adjusted data, is a preferable measure.
But Fact Check has used the ABS's trend data throughout this piece, because the ABS says it is a better measure.
"The trend is always the better estimate, it smooths the seasonally adjusted out so it is less volatile. It gives you a better measure of the underlying strengths of what's going on in the labour market," Mr Collett said.
Seasonal adjustment "is a means of removing the estimated effects of normal seasonal variation from the series so that the effects of other influences on the series can be more clearly recognised," the ABS says in its labour force publications.
Trend data, on the other hand, "reduces the impact of the irregular component of the seasonally adjusted series" and is "used to analyse the underlying behaviour of a series over time".

If you’ve ever fancied living in your own school, complete with a cricket pitch and basketball courts, now’s your chance.
Buntine Primary School, 300km north of Perth in the heart of wheat, sheep and wildflower country, came on to the market last week — and it’s a steal at $80,000.
Also up for sale is Latham Primary School, 30km down the road, for an asking price of $70,000.
Both schools were closed by the Education Department in 2015 after student numbers dropped below 15.
During a national schools building program run by a previous Labor Federal government, Buntine primary was given a $450,000 multi-purpose classroom and Latham primary got a $650,000 covered assembly area.
