MEDIA RELEASE

Embargo: 11:30 am (Canberra Time)

Labour force participation rate at all-time high

Employment and hours
The trend participation rate increased to a record high of 65.7 per cent in March 2018, according to latest figures released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) today.

"The labour force participation rate now sits at 65.7 per cent, the highest it has been since the series began in 1978, indicating that the population is participating in the labour market at a record high level," the Chief Economist for the ABS, Bruce Hockman, said.

In line with the increasing participation rate, employment increased by around 14,000 persons. Part-time employment increased by 13,000 persons and full-time employment by 1,000 persons, reflecting a slowing in full-time employment growth.

Over the past year, trend employment increased by 3.1 per cent, which was above the average year-on-year growth over the past 20 years (1.9 per cent).

Australia has now created jobs in each of the past 16 months, the longest stretch ever seen before.

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), employment grew by 16,000 in seasonally adjusted terms in January, marginally topping forecasts for an increase of 15,000.

Part time employment surged by 65,900, masking an ugly 49,800 decline in full time workers.

That reversed the trend seen over the year where full time employment soared by 293,200, far outpacing a 110,100 increase in part time employment over the same period.

At 12.4535 million,
total employment now stands at the highest level on record
, helped by a record stretch of consecutive monthly gains that began way back in October 2016.

You're welcome. Cool

So how do you like to pick your cherries?

Why do you ignore:

* Record low wages growth over 5 years
* Rising long-term unemployment
* Coalition's corruption and cronyism
* Paying high prices for several restricted tenders that happen to go to their mates
* No action on wage theft
* Record high numbers of illegal immigrants
* Record high numbers of people arriving with baseless asylum claims
* Part-time government only showing up to work for 4 weeks in eight months
* Numerous scandals
* First per capita recession since 2006
* Selling out record numbers of Australian jobs to foreigners
* Killing off the car manufacturing industry
* Blocking banking Royal Commission 26 times
* First government to lose control of Parliament since 1961
* First government to lose a legislative vote since 1941

I could add more to this list. Cherrypicking a few dated figures doesn't absolve this bad and moribund government of their numerous sins.

Writing in capitals doesn't make it right.

No one wants to be part of the working poor, like America - that is where Coalition is leading us to.

Working more does not help when income is low. To the point that the place of work also raises a charity for its workers - like Walmart.
