ABS publication: NSW in Focus

Social, economic and environmental trends in NSW published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

• Is NSW growing faster or slower?
• What's happened with household income over the last decade?
• Which industries contribute the most to income and employment growth?
• What are the key trends in health, education, crime and the environment?

NSW in Focus, 2008 (cat. no. 1338.1) provides a snapshot of activity within the state. Drawing on both ABS and non-ABS sources, NSW in Focus has twelve chapters presenting a rich range of social, economic and environmental data: http://www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@.nsf/mf/1338.1

New in this year's publication is the inclusion of "Statistical Highlights" which provides some analysis and graphs on selected indicators. Each chapter also features a summary table of selected indicators allowing users to track changes over time, and a list of data sources which are a helpful reference for further research.
