Certain labour force characteristics, stability and labour market mobility patterns, are examined in the south west Australian timber industry's workforce in 1977. The usefulness of this data in making manpower decisions is discussed and examples are drawn from the study conducted. Industry‐wide surveys of basic manpower information are shown as an aid to manpower planning.
