Tourism is reasobaly labour intenssive, but has almost recovered to pre covid levels according to the Tourism board, so i don't think we can point the finger in that direction.

As for mining, according to ABS data  the Mining sector had the highest growth in earnings.

Key statistics

  • Total selected industries earnings grew $93.4b (12.9%).
  • The Mining industry had the largest growth in earnings of $52.0b (23.4%).
  • Wholesale trade earnings grew $7.9b (21.9%).
  • Retail trade earnings grew $6.8b (16.2%).
  • Construction earnings grew $6.1b (11.6%).
  • Total selected industries operating profit before tax (OPBT) was steady, declining $2.1b (0.3%) in 2022-23.
  • The Mining industry had the largest increase in OPBT of $57.2b (31.0%), while the Rental, hiring and real estate services industry had the largest decrease of $45.5b (-44.8%).

Perhaps in the case of mining, it is the fall in productivity that is the problem.
