Unemployment rate rises to 4.3pc in June
Australia's unemployment rate rose to 4.3 per cent in June, up from 4.1 per cent in May.
The data comes after the Reserve Bank surprised markets last week by keeping interest rates on hold.
Employment only increased by 2,000 people in June, while the number of officially unemployed people surged by 33,600.
Part-time employment grew by 40,000 people, but full-time employment fell by 38,000 people.
