00:00:00,480|00:00:04,240|TLT|Mel, money geeks like me have a state of economic origin.
00:00:04,280|00:00:06,200|TLT|Let's start with economic growth
00:00:06,240|00:00:09,880|TLT|and as you can see here, the Northern Territory is booming.
00:00:09,920|00:00:12,680|TLT|It's now Australia's second strongest economy
00:00:12,720|00:00:16,640|TLT|behind Western Australia
00:00:16,680|00:00:19,040|TLT|but people are still heading west.
00:00:19,080|00:00:21,480|TLT|WA has the fastest-growing population.
00:00:21,520|00:00:24,120|TLT|The mining construction boom may be over
00:00:24,160|00:00:27,960|TLT|but more and more people are making the move,

00:00:35,080|00:00:37,040|TLT|which is actually quite high for them.
00:00:37,080|00:00:39,000|TLT|While at the other end of the scale,
00:00:39,040|00:00:41,200|TLT|South Australia has a 6.9% jobless rate,
00:00:41,240|00:00:45,120|TLT|which is well above its 10-year average.
00:00:45,160|00:00:47,400|TLT|but clearly not everywhere.
00:00:47,440|00:00:49,960|TLT|You can see that New South Wales is leading the pack
00:00:50,000|00:00:52,280|TLT|but housing is in the doldrums in Tassie,
