AUSTRALIANS think mining contributes far more to the economy and job creation than it really does, while underestimating the level of foreign ownership in the industry, a survey shows.
According to the Australia Institute survey, to be published today, the public believe mining provides an average of 16 per cent of jobs across the economy.
In contrast, official figures show the industry's share of employment is 1.9 per cent, or 217,000 jobs.
