          Source: ABS (2006 and 2011)

           Data suggests that Noosa’s knowledge industries, particularly professional, scientific and
            technical services and administrative and support services, reported significant growth
            in employment between 2006 and 2011.
           Industries most closely associated with the tourism sector were generally ‘less valuable’
            by output per employee and grew only marginally by contribution to Noosa’s
            employment, or declined, between 2006 and 2011.

6.4       Employment by Industry by Place of Work
           Major Noosa Shire employment industries by place of work include retail trade (16.6%
            of employment), accommodation and food services (14.1%), and health care and social
            assistance (12.7%).
           Industries in which Noosa Shire is underrepresented compared to SEQ and Queensland
            include public administration and safety, transport, postal and warehousing, and mining.
