Australia’s unemployment rate rose to 3.9% in November, according to data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. This is its highest level in one and a half years and is accredited to an increase in job-seeking individuals. Despite this, the economy still managed to add 61,500 roles in November, surpassing the estimated gain of 11,500. Bjorn Jarvis, head of labor statistics at ABS, noted that employment growth has been able to keep up with the population growth throughout 2023. The data also revealed that the employment-to-population ratio has returned to a record high.
