ANZ job ads jump

Monday, 3 March 2014

ANZ has released job ads for February and the news finally better with a 5.1% rise. From ANZ:

“Forthcoming job ads data will be important: if much of the recent improvement in job ads is maintained in coming months it would support our view that economic activity will improve gradually this year.”

No real surprise there. Some folks are bound to misread this cycle as the same as those in the past.
