In reply to Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart) (27 July 2015). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation): I am advised:

Publicly available information from the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows there were 72,500 people employed in manufacturing jobs in South Australia in May 2015.

Of these, 79 per cent (57,300) were full-time and 21 per cent (15,200) were part-time.
