Red alert suburbs: An employment vulnerability index for Australia's major urban regions

This report identifies the suburbs across Australia that are most at risk of job losses as a result of the current financial crisis.

The report uses the Employment Vulnerability Index (EVI), developed by the Centre of Full Employment and Equity (University of Newcastle) in conjunction with the Urban Research Program (Griffith University), to indicate which suburbs are most exposed to job losses and least well placed to escape disadvantage associated with increasing unemployment.

The report is accompanied by a comprehensive website which provides data profiles of the job loss suburbs and maps of job loss predictions. Visit the CofFEE website.
