Graph alt text 2

Line graph entitled ‘Operating income, NZ manufacturing sector’, showing operating income (in millions of dollars) by quarter, with a second line showing seasonally adjusted operating income. Quarter (March-05, June-05, September-05, and so on) is listed along the horizontal (x) axis and thousands of millions of dollars (15, 16, 17, and so on) along the vertical (y) axis. Data points are connected in a continuous series of straight lines, in a sawtooth ascending pattern from March-05 to a maximum at June-08. A chain of seasonally adjusted income data points is superimposed over the operating income line graph – data points ascend in a roughly linear pattern, with magnitudes between the peaks of values recorded for unadjusted operating income.
