The Australian economy is exceedingly healthy today if the latest jobs figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) are to be believed. The ABS’s labour figures for the month of March were particularly anticipated. That’s because they cover the final month of the JobKeeper payment (which ended on 28 March).
So without further ado, let’s dive into what the ABS has told us today.
According to the Bureau, the unemployment rate decreased over the month of March to 5.6%. That’s down 0.2% from the 5.8% figure we saw for February. The number of unemployed people in Australia declined from 805,200 in February to 778,100 in March, a decrease of 27,100. That means there are now 13,077,600 employed people in the country as of March, up from 13,006,900 in February.
