Australian Jobs boom rolls on in October 2018

Australian Jobs boom has rolled on for another month in October surpassing all expectations by experts. 32, 800 fresh Australia Jobs were created in the month. In terms of seasonal adjustment, full-time jobs jumped by 42, 300 per month. This more than offset the decrease of 5,200 part-time jobs.

Bruce Hockman the Chief Economist at Australian Bureau of Statistics said that this was the 25th successive increase in the monthly increase of full-time jobs. The average increase in employment has been around 20,300 per month, as quoted by the ABC NET AU.

The labor market slack is also appearing to tighten with the rate of underutilization edging town. It is the combination of those looking for more work and those unemployed. However, it remains high by historical standards although.

Callam Pickering the Asia-Pacific Economist at Indeed said that the statistics are positive. These have consolidated the recent gains, he added. Full-time jobs have accounted for 83% growth of employment in 2018, said Pickering. These have accounted for 3/4ths of the growth in 2017, he added.

The Economist at Indeed further elaborated that Australia is creating high-quality roles. Above all, it is tightening the slack in the labor market across the nation.

Marcel Thieliant the analyst at Capital Economics said that the growth in salaries is unlikely to pace up. This is even if the rate of unemployment decreases below 5% in the months ahead, he added.

The workforce is aging and with higher levels of education said Thieliant. Along with this, the job-matching has been enhanced owing to technology. These indicate that the natural rate of unemployment may now be as less as 4%, he added.

The seasonally adjusted underemployment rate remains at 8.3%. This implies that a large number of employees still exist intending to work for extra hours, said the analyst.
