Introduction
The purpose of this paper is to present a
range of economic and other statistical indicators for the states and
territories of Australia. To facilitate comparisons, indicators are presented
in relative terms such as growth rates, percentages, or proportions of gross
state product, so comparisons can be made using equivalent measures.
This publication is a companion to the Monthly
Statistical Bulletin which contains Australia-wide data only, but on a
more frequent basis.
A glossary of social, demographic and economic terms used in
the tables is provided at the end of this publication.
