Output by industry is a gross measure of the total sales of each industry sector in Port Macquarie-Hastings Council area. It does not measure how productive each industry sector is at producing this output - which is measured by value added.
By comparing the output of each industry sector to a regional benchmark, you can clearly see the structure of Port Macquarie-Hastings Council area’s economy.
