Turnover
Turnover is a key measure of the performance of
establishments in an industry. It covers the sales
of goods and services by an establishment
(together with transfers of goods to other parts
of the same business) and also includes all other
operating revenue generated by the
establishment.
In 1998–99 Victoria (with 33% of national
manufacturing turnover) and New South Wales
(with 32%) continued to be the largest
manufacturing States (table 19.7). New South
Wales contributed 46% of the national turnover
of the Printing, publishing and recorded media
industry, and between 26% and 37% of the
national turnover of the remaining manufacturing
industries. Victoria contributed 51% of the
national turnover of the Textile, clothing,
footwear and leather manufacturing industry,
42% of the national turnover of the Machinery
and equipment manufacturing industry and
between 23% and 35% of the national turnover
of the remaining manufacturing industries.
Although Queensland accounted for only
15% of national manufacturing turnover overall,
it contributed 21% of national turnover for Food,
beverages and tobacco manufacturing. South
Australia, which accounted for 9% of national
manufacturing turnover overall, contributed
17% of national turnover for Machinery and
equipment manufacturing; Tasmania, which
accounted for 2% of national manufacturing
turnover overall, contributed 10% of national
turnover for Wood and paper product
manufacturing.
Employment
Victoria (33%) and New South Wales
(32%) dominate manufacturing employment
in Australia, accounting for almost two-thirds
of national manufacturing employment at
30 June 1999 (table 19.8). In all industries, either
New South Wales or Victoria is the largest
employing State.
New South Wales manufacturing establishments
employ 42% of the national total for the Printing,
publishing and recorded media, and 35% for the
Metal product manufacturing industry. Victoria
accounts for some 51% of all persons working in
the Textile, clothing, footwear and leather
manufacturing industry in Australia.
Queensland establishments employ
22% of persons in Food, beverage and tobacco
manufacturing and 18% of those in Non-metallic
mineral product manufacturing. South Australia
accounts for 14% of employment in the
Machinery and equipment manufacturing
industry.
