months: While employment did rise in November, it been a mediocre performance over the past six months, according to Nine News Australia. The new figures come just a week after data showed the economy suffered its worst performance since the 2008-2009 global financial crisis. The Australian jobless rate unexpectedly ticked up to a four-month high of 5.7 per cent, ending a steady decline since January. No wonder the Australian people do not believe Malcolm Turnbull when he talks about jobs and growth, opposition employment spokesman Brendan OConnor told reporters in Sydney on Thursday. Australians are out there, they are encouraged by the economy and putting their hands up and saying We are prepared to look for jobs, she told reporters in Perth. Employment Minister Michaelia Cash latched on to the 39,100 rise in the number of people employed and an increase in the participation rate, which indicates more people are looking for work.
