# AI Jobs Index Australia

> The Australian index tracking AI's footprint on Australian work. Three independent series: ADI (AI Diffusion Index, share of technology job ads referencing AI), ASDI (AI-Specialist Demand Index, active AI-specialist roles), and ALWR (AI-Linked Workforce Reductions, audit-graded with EXPLICIT leading). Published monthly, the day after the ABS Labour Force release. Methodology and source code published.

## What this index measures

- ADI: share of Australian online technology job advertisements that reference AI, machine learning, generative AI, or named AI tools and skills. Scans technology ads only, not all Australian job ads. Trailing 30 days, Adzuna feed.
- ASDI: count of active Australian job postings where AI is the primary work, qualified by an AI-specialist title or by a tight skills taxonomy. A strict subset of ADI.
- ALWR: publicly cited Australian workforce reductions where AI has been named as a driver or contributing factor. Three attribution classes (EXPLICIT, MIXED, BLAMED). Headline figure is EXPLICIT-only.

The three series are never summed and never subtracted from one another.
