good luck

You will be happy to know that the downward pressure on unemployment continues in
Australia and record jobs growth continuing as announced in the media yesterday.

Yes right more good news , after picking though the bull .If this amounts to a boom god help us when the slow down in World Economy hits .
Australia may be a under populated Island , but its still on this planet just .

The unemployment rate remained steady at 6.2 per cent despite an estimated increase of 13,400 jobless, reflecting overall growth in the employment market, the Australian Bureau of Statistics said.

Market analysts said the survey was volatile and the months ahead would be more difficult as lower exports and drought took their toll.

However, job creation is still slower than the growth in the adult working age population, which is up 1.3 million. But an increase in the number of people opting to take retirement or going into full-time employment kept unemployment numbers steady.
