Previews
This via ANZ:
We expect another solid rise of 20k jobs in August in after the 28k rise in July.
- Business conditions remain high and the ongoing strength in job ads suggest that the labour market should continue to improve, albeit gradually.
- We expect the unemployment rate to remain stable at 5.6%.
And, this from CBA:
The pace of jobs growth has accelerated over the year and the participation rate has risen which suggests that people are more confident about conditions in the jobs market.
- We are expecting another solid 20k increase in the month.
- This month's jobs report will also include the quarterly measure of underemployment. Given the pace of employment growth we would expect to see the underemployment rate come down a little.
