Ask Fear & Greed: How does the ABS know if I've got a job?

Listener Rachel asks: Something that's always bugged me about unemployment data. How do they know who's actually employed? Is it based on tax records, or do companies have to report new hires, or is there some other way of reporting? Or is it just an estimate? I'm curious.
