Job advertising suffered a small fall in April, but still pointed to strong employment growth in the months ahead and a further decline in the unemployment rate.
The ANZ job ads series showed a 0.5 per cent fall in April, but was still 26.3 per cent higher than a year earlier and 57.3 per cent up from pre-COVID-19 levels.
"We expect strong labour demand to lead to solid employment gains in the coming months," ANZ head of Australian economics David Planks said.
