* These figures are original (not seasonally adjusted): the ABS does not publish a seasonally adjusted series at this level of detail. Quarter-to-quarter moves carry seasonal noise, so the through-the-year (annual) figure is the meaningful one, and it is compared like for like against the national all-industries original series.
