  • The Australian Unemployment Rate is foreseen stable at 4.1% in October.
  • Employment Change is expected at 25K, much lower than the 51.6K posted in September. 
  • AUD/USD is under pressure and may soon pierce the 0.6500 mark. 

The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) will release the October monthly employment report at 00:30 GMT on Thursday. The country is expected to have added 25K new job positions, while the Unemployment Rate is expected to remain stable at 4.1%. The Australian Dollar (AUD) trades near multi-week lows against the US Dollar (USD) ahead of the event amid continued USD demand, with the AUD/USD pair trading just above the 0.6500 mark.

The ABSEmployment Change report separates full-time from part-time jobs. According to its definition, full-time jobs imply working 38 or more hours per week and usually include additional benefits, but they mostly represent consistent income. On the other hand, part-time employment generally offers higher hourly rates but lacks consistency and benefits. This iswhy full-time jobs have more weight than part-time ones when setting the directional path for the AUD. 

The September report showed the Oceanic country created 51.6K full-time jobs and 12.5K part-time positions, resulting in a net Employment Change of 64.1K. The Unemployment Rate, in the meantime, printed at 4.1% for a second consecutive month.
