(1)-(3) The Department of Training and Workforce Development does not produce data on jobs created in Western Australia, workers underemployed in Western Australia, or the State's under-utilisation rate.
The Commonwealth Government's Australian Bureau of Statistics is the authoritative provider of statistics relevant to the questions.
