In an exclusive interview with MNI, the head of labor data at the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), Bjorn Jarvis, said that the country's jobs market was "strong and tightening" after February recorded the lowest unemployment rate since 2008.
February unemployment was 4.0%, equal to the rate in both February and August 2008, while the participation rate of 66.2% was the highest on record for the whole market, and for women at 62.4%.
'If you want to find unemployment at lower than 4.0% you must go back before the monthly series, and back to 1974.”
'The participation rate is now 0.6pps higher than at the start the pandemic for all persons, and 1.2pps higher for women.”
“The February labor force data was also significant because of the rise in full-time employment, with 122,000 positions added, while part-time work fell by 44,000.”
"There was also an 8.9% rebound in hours worked and that underpins the stronger full-time result,' he said.
'The remarkable thing through the pandemic is how quickly the labor market has rebounded and restrictions and we are still seeing that."

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
