Greg Jericho writes in The Guardian (22.11.16) that the latest figures on economic growth in individual states show wildly different drivers across the nation:
‘The GDP figures out in two weeks will given an updated snapshot of how Australia’s economy has been travelling. Often those figures can obscure the performance across the states as they don’t count the exports from each state. But as the GSP figures have shown, even with strong export growth the key to a healthy economy for people looking for work is investment, and right now NSW and Victoria lead the way both in that, and also in jobs.’
