This week’s key data release was Australia’s September Labour Force Survey, which showed a surprising drop of 39,300 in employment. However, a 0.2 percentage point decline in labor force participation from August’s near-historic high largely offset this decrease, keeping the unemployment rate steady at 4.7% after an upward revision for August. Residual seasonality may continue to influence the figures.
