Gst, check out Australia. I think Markus Fowler is down there.;) >>Published: December 13 2001 02:48 \| Last Updated: December 13 2001 04:49 Australia's unemployment rate fell to 6.7 per cent in November from 7.1 per cent a month before, according to government figures released on Thursday. Tony Abbott, Australia's employment minister, welcomed the figures, saying that they highlighted the "underlying strength in the Australian economy" but he also warned that the monthly jobless figures were volatile. Employment for the month of November grew by 4,100. November's unemployment rate matches that of September's. A decline in the jobless rate from August to September is largely credited with aiding prime minister John Howard's victory in the November general election. The Australian economy has remained robust despite the global economic downturn and continues to be among the strongest in the industrialised world. Strong consumer confidence and spending, along with a high rate of business confidence, have led to gross domestic product growth this year of 4 per cent.
