Statistics for manufacturing in New South Wales

Statistics for manufacturing in New South Wales The statistics presented in this information sheet are only for manufacturing industries under MSA s coverage. The information sheet is presented in two parts: Part A provides an overview of the manufacturing in New South Wales. Data is provided about employment, number of businesses, skills and training and contribution to the economy (Page 2). Part B provides information relevant to regional areas of New South Wales. Data is provided on employment, number of business locations and skills and training (Page 14). The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) conducts a census of the manufacturing industry every five years. The last ABS census on manufacturing in Australia was 26 7. The next census will be in 211 12. Information is gathered using the Australian New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC) system which was updated in 26. Manufacturing is Division C and also includes Food Product Manufacturing, Beverage and Tobacco Product Manufacturing and Wood Product Manufacturing. Data relating to these latter sectors has been excluded where possible. Automotive Manufacturing has also been excluded. Note: Both the Laboratory Operations Training Package and the Competitive Manufacturing Training Package are used across all sectors under MSA s coverage. Note: MSA uses as its main data sources, the latest statistics available from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) and the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER). This may result in variations between MSA s data and the data collected by other sources.

Part B - Regional Information The information presented in this section provides a short summary of what is happening in the manufacturing industries in each region of New South Wales. The subjects covered are: Employment and business locations Uptake of MSA Training Packages For the purpose of collecting data, the ABS divides each state into Statistical Subdivisions. The Statistical Subdivision (SSD) is an Australian Standard Geographical Classification (ASGC) defined area which represents an intermediate level, general purpose, regional type geographic unit. SSDs consist of one or more Statistical Local Areas (SLAs) and cover, in aggregate, the whole of Australia without gaps or overlaps 13. Information about statistical divisions and maps relevant to each state can be found at: http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/2f762f95845417aeca2576c834efa/d4f3b7af 766a4c4dca256f19134a73!OpenDocument.
