SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION
This publication continues the release of mining industry estimates based on new statistical infrastructure introduced for 2001-02.
KEY DATA
Table 1.1 presents a time series for selected items, from 2001-02 to 2003-04. All value data in this table are shown at current prices.
For more information about:
- employment estimates, see Appendix
- survey methodology, see Technical Note 1.
The Glossary provides definitions for terms used.
GROSS VALUE ADDED
Table 1.2 illustrates the growth of Australian industries over time using chain volume measures of their gross value added. Chain volume measures take into account the effects of price changes.
Of the seventeen industries shown in table 1.2, only MINING recorded negative growth (3.5%) in 2003-04. It ranked thirteenth in its average annual growth rate over the past 10 years and equal sixth over the past 25 years, with increases of 2.7% and 3.5% respectively. By comparison, the highest growth rates were recorded by COMMUNICATION SERVICES, with annualised rates of 6.1% and 6.7% for the 10 year and 25 year periods. AGRICULTURE, FORESTRY AND FISHING recorded the highest growth rate in 2003-04, of 31.3%.
