Summary Comments

Gross operating surplus (GOS)
  • Total GOS grew 2.5% increasing for all sectors except public non-financial corporations. Private non-financial corporations were the main contributor to growth, increasing 3.9%, which is consistent with the rise in the terms of trade (3.1%).
  • Through the year GOS increased 7.5%. Mining was the main contributor to this growth, driven by higher commodity prices and increased production volumes.

Compensation of employees (COE)
  • COE increased 1.2% and average compensation per employee rose 0.4%.
  • Private COE grew 1.4%, while public COE increased 0.7%.
  • The five largest states recorded growth with New South Wales (1.6%) the main contributor. All states recorded growth in COE through the year with the exception of Northern Territory.
