The economic environment represents the external conditions under which people are engaged in, and benefit from, economic activity. It includes aspects of paid employment, economic status and finances. Seven indicators have been used to assess aspects of the quality of household finances and paid work. Only communities (census subdivisions) with data for all indicators have been mapped. This map shows the quality of the economic environment: the environment in which people engage in, and benefit from, economic activity that includes aspects of paid employment and household finances.
