Australia June jobs report holds unemployment at 4.4%

The unemployment rate matched the forecast and the prior reading, while the jobs gain was described as strong but partly driven by part time work.

Australia’s June 2026 jobs report showed the unemployment rate at 4.4%, matching both the market expectation and the prior reading, according to Forexlive.

The report also pointed to a strong increase in jobs added, though the outlet said the result was tempered because many of the positions were part time.

Forexlive noted that more analysis was expected separately, following the publication of the June labor market figures.
