Synthetic business population containing simulated business variables

This dataset contain simulated data for a fully synthetic business population.  The dataset contains 900,000 records, each of which represents a simulated business.  It resembles the real-world population of employing businesses in Australia in terms of the distribution of businesses across size categories, industry classes and geographic regions (state).  The data for the population has been generated using a combination of published survey outputs available from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) website, and employee tax data and survey data sourced from the Business Longitudinal Analysis Data Environment (BLADE) in the ABS DataLab.
