Category:Labour Market,Labour Market 2014Originally published in “The Australian”
During the 12 months to May 2014, YoY employment growth was 99,400, unemployment growth was 43,000 and Not in the Labour Force growth was 197,500. Given our long term participation and unemployment rates of about 65 percent and 5 percent respectively, we should have seen employment growth of 210,000, unemployment growth of 10,000 and Not in the Labour Force growth of 120,000. So our employment growth was about 110,000 too low, employment growth was 30,000 too high and Not in the Labour Force was 80,000 too high.
