澳11月失业率跌至5.7%好于预期或已见顶

The result shocked economists, with even the two most optimistic analysts only forecasting the creation of 20,000 jobs. "I probably think the unemployment rate will peak below 6 per cent, so we probably already have seen the peak for the unemployment rate now."Macquarie's senior economist, Brian Redican said.

据2009年12月10日澳洲统计局公布的最新数据显示，十一月经季节调整后的失业率从十月份的5.8%下跌至5.7%，好于市场预期的5.9%。就业人数按月增加31,200人，远好过预期的5000人。

麦觉理银行资深经济学家Brian Redican乐观表示，澳洲失业率可能在6%以下见顶，或许目前就已经达到顶点。
