provided to Fact Check by the Australian Young Greens purports to show the number of employees in cafes and coffee shops in Australia from 2005-06 to 2019-20.on Australian cafes and coffee shops produced by the market research company IBISWorld.
It is worth noting the IBISWorld definition of"employment" includes"the number of permanent, part-time, temporary and casual employees, working proprietors, partners, managers and executives within the industry". ABS spokesman told Fact Check that unpublished data from the bureau's Labour Force Survey shows there were 16,700 full-time baristas in Australia in November 2019 and an average of 15,000 over the full year.
He suggested there could be definitional issues when talking about baristas, such as whether people who worked in coffee shops counted, or if counts were narrowed to only those having completed formal training.
So the ABC fact check shows there are 38k workers in coal and 48k in cafes yet they state the claim is false?
Even if it was correct, it's 30k vs 150k a year, what economic impact are baristas having on the economy?
FFS, that will do me.
When you include all cafe workers and compare to all coal workers, cafe workers more than double coal workers (ref ABS). 2/2
You've missed the point (and are comparing different things). If you choose to only include baristas but not all other cafe workers, then you must also only include coal workers who actually touch or process coal, not affiliated roles. 1/2
'According to the ATO..' clearly haven't worked in the hospitality industry.
