Analysts expect that the Australia’s unemployment rate will keep rising in coming months. Economists surveyed by AAP finds that they are expected to have an increase in the number unemployed by 10,000 in October and the unemployment rate having risen to 5.3%.

Australian and New Zealand Banking Group released their monthly job market survey, total job advertisement in newspapers and on the internet fell 0.7% in October from September. ANZ’s head of Australian Economics and Property Research Ivan Colhoun said “the job ads data is consistent with a rise in the unemployment rate to 5.5% by mid-2012, levels not seen last 2001 when the economy was pulling clear of the global financial crisis.” When unemployment rate have risen, wages and inflation will have moderate movement.
