Australian Employment Figures
The Australian job market took a slight breather in the month of February
with job growth falling to 400 new jobs, against expectations for 15,000. The
unemployment rate also rose slightly to 5.3% from a downward revised 5.2% in
January.
However, as illustrated in the monthly
change in jobs chart, one positive in the results was that full time jobs
outpaced part time jobs. It also marks the sixth increase in jobs in a row with
total new full-time jobs in those months of 103k.
Overall the report showed really just a temporary weakness in a strong
trend of job growth - in a country where the economy is growing strong; and
monetary policy tightening has continued once again.
