Employment in the Australian coal mining industry has fluctuated in recent times, standing at approximately 45.9 thousand as of June 2024. The mining industry has traditionally been a dominant contributor to the Australian economy. In recent times, however, coal mining has faced criticism from environmental groups due to combustion emissions. Australian coal market The gross value added by the coal mining industry amounted to almost 47 billion Australian dollars in 2020. Royalties and taxes collected by the Australian government from this industry currently make a significant contribution to the livelihood of Australians. Australia has become one of the largest producers as well as net exporters of coal in the world. While the production volume of coal is high, most of the coal produced in the country is exported. Its major export markets include Japan, China, South Korea, and India. Is the industry cooling? While coal is the primary fossil fuel used in energy generation in Australia, renewable energy sources are becoming more popular across the country. Public support for coal-fired power stations has been dwindling. Recently, an Australian judge has ruled against the establishment of a new coal mine due to its potential impact on the environment. Consumption of Australian coal has been declining over the past decade, as newer, cleaner forms of energy are becoming more readily available.

Economic contribution and employment trends Australia's tourism sector recovery is reflected in its substantial economic contribution in 2024. In the year ending June 2024, Australia's direct tourism GDP rose to approximately 75 billion Australian dollars. New South Wales continued to be a key player in the industry, with its tourism gross value added (GVA) reaching about 20 billion Australian dollars. The state also led in employment, with around 195,000 people directly employed in the tourism sector. These figures underscore the tourism industry's significance in driving economic growth and job creation across the country. International visitors fuel industry recovery The revival of Australia's tourism sector is closely tied to the return of international tourists. In 2024, the country welcomed over 7.3 million international visitor arrivals, a significant increase from the mere 140,000 visitors recorded during the height of pandemic restrictions in 2021. New Zealand residents led the way, with over 1.2 million visitors, followed by tourists from China numbering just below 750,000. This influx of international travelers contributed substantially to the Australian economy in 2024, with total trip expenditure reaching approximately 47.8 billion Australian dollars, surpassing pre-pandemic levels for the first time.
