Mining the labour market: the estimated demand for labour in the SA mining sector 2006-2014

This paper provides a summary of commissioned research undertaken by the South Australian Centre for Economic Studies on behalf of the State Government. The research aimed to estimate the additional labour requirements due to the planned expansion of mining in South Australia.

This is followed by the estimated demand in the mining sector by occupational grouping and some conclusions.
