NSW in Focus

NSW in Focus is a contemporary record of activity within the State, providing a wide range of statistics from both ABS and non ABS sources. It contains ten chapters in all, each representing areas of social or economic importance: population, family and community, health, education and training, crime and justice, housing, economic activity, transport and environment. Within each chapter, a summary table presents a time series of key indicators, followed by more detailed statistics relating to issues identified within each domain. NSW in Focus is an easy to use reference for government agencies, universities, other education facilities, research organisations and the general community.

NSW in Focus (ABS cat. no 1338.1) is available from the ABS web site, www.abs.gov.au>statistics>catalogue number>1338.1
