This information paper contains experimental estimates for the Australian manufacturing industry for the 2009--10 reference period. The experimental estimates presented here use a combination of data directly collected in ABS surveys and data sourced from the Australian Tax Office (ATO). Modelling techniques are applied to combine these two data sources in order to produce experimental estimates at the ANZSIC class level for the data items wages and salaries, sales and service income, industry value added (IVA) and employment. In addition, estimates for state at the ANZSIC subdivision level are also presented for wages and salaries, sales and service income, and employment.
