Australia churns out more jobs in May

Better-than-expected result reduces rate cut possibility.

According to BBVA, Australia unexpectedly created more jobs in May, reducing the likelihood of a rate cut by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) at its next policy meeting on July 2.

Employment increased by 1,100 (consensus: -10,000). But with the participation rate declining, the employment stayed flat at 5.5% (consensus: 5.6%). The RBA cut the policy rate to a historic low of 2.75% in May, for a total of 200 bps rate cut since November 2011, the research firm noted further.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
