Employment in the electricity supply industry at the end of June 2006 was 42,400 persons. This represented an increase of 8% (3,400 persons) compared to June 2005, and was 19% (6,900 persons) higher than at the end of June 2002.
Increases in employment, and labour costs, are partly related to increased investment in capital expenditure projects over 2004-05 and 2005-06.
