Australia's Public Employment Growth Masks Slowdown in Private Sector Jobs Market
Key Points:
- 130,000 of the 437,000 new jobs were in NDIS-related sub-industries
- Public sector employment grew by 6%, while private sector growth was just 1.4%
Implications: The support from NDIS-related jobs cushions the labor market, but concerns arise about a potential slowdown if government spending recedes. The Reserve Bank of Australia faces a delicate balancing act between controlling inflation and preserving gains in employment.
