Financial calendar in Asia Thursday, August 14, 2025 – Australian jobs report (OzNFP!)

The Australian jobs report is due immediately, Thursday, August 14, 2025.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics month-to-month jobs report occurs in two levels:

• The primary launch, known as Labour Drive, Australia, consists of the headline figures: employment, unemployment, underemployment, participation, and hours labored. That is what we get immediately.

• The second launch, Labour Drive, Australia, Detailed, follows a few week later and supplies deeper breakdowns (by area, age, business, and occupation).

The ABS normally releases the Labour Drive information on the third Thursday. Right this moment we’re getting it on the 2nd Thursday. The reason will not be actually a proof, extra of a “cope with it”. Precise launch dates—particularly for the headline vs. the detailed report—can shift barely.

For immediately, one other stable report is predicted, with a bounce in jobs added anticipated, and a tic decrease within the unemployment fee. Yesterday we had wages information displaying for the y/y at three.four%

• larger than the estimate (of three.three%)
• matching Q1’s three.four%
• and above the Reserve Financial institution of Australia forecast was three.three%
• Australian information – Q2 2025 Wage Value Index zero.eight% q/q (anticipated zero.eight%)

If employment progress persists strongly too you possibly can neglect a cascade of RBA fee cuts, a sluggish drip feed decrease is about the most effective we are able to anticipate.
