AUSTRALIA
AUSTRALIA: I've had a little more time to dig through the aforementioned ABS
survey and found this in the side notes:
- "The survey found that the proportion of people in the panel reporting they
had a job had increased by 0.8 percentage points over the month, from the lowest
point in the first week of April, up to 64.2%. The proportion of people
indicating that they had worked paid hours also increased, by 3.2 percentage
points, up to 59.0%. While these increases were not statistically significant,
given the margin of error, it may indicate some improvement in labour market
conditions.
The next results of the Labour Force Survey, with data in respect of the first
two weeks of May, collected over a three-week period from 10 May to 30 May, will
be published on Thursday 18 June."
