## Resource

Australia’s job market just delivered a surprise boost, adding over 40,000 jobs in May — smashing economists’ expectations of just 25,000 — and pushing unemployment down to 4.4%. While most of those new roles were part-time, the strong labor participation rate signals a resilient workforce. But with stubborn inflation still clinging on — fueled by rising costs for transport and materials — the Reserve Bank may not be finished hiking rates. This jobs report is a major talking point in the ongoing economic debate. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
