Post by imcrookonit on Feb 13^th, 2014 at 10:54am

Australian jobless rate hits 10-year high :(

The Australian.

AUSTRALIA'S unemployment rate rose to 6.0 per cent in January, official figures show, the highest level since July 2003. :(

Unemployment in December was unrevised at 5.8 per cent.

The total number of people with jobs fell 3,700 to 11.460 million in the month, according to seasonally adjusted figures released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics on Thursday.

The median forecast for the unemployment rate was 5.9 per cent in January, with total employment growth of 15,000, according to an AAP survey of 12 market economists.

Full-time employment fell 7,100 to 7.953 million in January and part-time employment was up 3,400 to 3.507 million.

The participation rate - the proportion of the population that have a job, are looking for work or are ready to start work - was steady at 64.5 per cent.

Yeah - but rest assured the IMF reckons our economy is based on solid values or whatever... nothing to worry about...

Joe'll cut tariffs on cars, so we never have a car industry here, not even parts manufacturing, and the revenue from car tariffs will disappear down the toilet alongside everything else, with the shortfall being taken up form the serfs.

WTF voted for these clowns?

Irrelevant. Totally different circumstances. Apples and oranges.
