Australia jobs 19 May 2022

Westpac are looking for a below-consensus headline result:

  • Given that weekly payrolls suggest weather and holiday events dampened jobs growth in April, Westpac anticipates employment to lift by 20k for the month.
  • The participation rate holding flat at 66.4% should see unemployment rate move downwards (Westpac f/c: 3.9%).
