Ton Kennedy, economist JP Morgan:
“Employment growth is not good – full-time down a lot, part-time up a lot. You’re not going to see too much volatility in the jobless rate, but you should look at things like underemployment and wage growth. They are likely to remain elevated in the case of the former and very low in the case of wages. That’s not a good outcome. “I don’t think this will really force the RBA’s hand in the near term – just because the unemployment rate of 5.6 percent looks good.”
