Population Growth of Launceston

Looking back last seven years Launceston’s population, the growth rate is not very promising, only last year recorded a positive growth, other years are negative. If so, the drop is not significant range from 6 to 129 people. What most likely cause the population drop is due to employment rate in this city.
