This now, via National Australia Bank (bolding mine):

NAB's forecasting models using other labour market indicators points to a best estimate of employment growth of around 15K, with some upside risk.

  • The Labour Force's sample rotation effects do not point to a particular skew for employment.

For the unemployment rate, NAB's estimate is that the rate is most likely to be unchanged at 5.4%, though sample rotation effects point to the risk of a somewhat higher 5.5% print

  • The outgoing portion of the sample has an unemployment rate of 4.2% which is lower than the sample as a whole at 5.1% (in original, not seasonally adjusted terms). If the incoming sample has the same as the outgoing, this would be enough to boost the unemployment rate by 0.1% points.

Other near-term indicators of unemployment are mixed: SEEK's applications-per-ad remain elevated and have not fallen appreciably, the Roy Morgan measure has been rising in recent months, while consumer unemployment expectations continue to trend down.

And ...

  • This is the mid-quarter month when the Statistician also surveys the level of under-employment and underutilisation in the labour force survey. This is not part of the weekly survey of economists, but the quarterly NAB Business Survey's finding of more businesses reporting an increasing difficulty finding labour points to a shrinking pool of labour slack and a lower underutilization rate.
  • NAB expects the under-utilisation rate to fall 0.3% points from 14.1% to 13.8%.
