OVERVIEW The above graphic illustrates each state or territory's share of economic aggregates relating to Australian manufacturing in 2005-06. The distribution is very similar across all four variables presented. Compared to the previous year, manufacturing employment increased in 2005-06 in the Northern Territory (by 9%), Queensland (by 5%) and Tasmania (by 1%), and fell in Western Australia (by 2%) and Victoria (by 1%). In New South Wales, South Australia and the Australian Capital Territory, manufacturing employment was relatively unchanged. Wages and salaries increased in all states and territories, while only Tasmania recorded a decrease in sales and service income. IVA increased in all jurisdictions except New South Wales and Tasmania, in both of which it eased marginally. Western Australia recorded the highest percentage increase (12%) in IVA, but its increase of $1.1b was second to Queensland ($1.4b) in absolute movement.
