In April 2013 an estimated 1.15 million Australians (9.3% of the workforce) were unemployed. This is down 1.5% from last month and is the lowest level of unemployment in Australia for nearly a year, since May 2012 (8.2%, 997,000).
The Australian workforce* was 12,437,000, (down from a record high in March) comprising 7,473,000 full-time workers (down 198,000); 3,810,000 part-time workers (up 206,000) and 1,154,000 looking for work (down 215,000) according to the Roy Morgan monthly employment estimates.
A further 1,100,000 Australians were under-employed - working part-time and looking for more work. This is 164,000 more than a month ago and represents 8.8% of the workforce* (up 1.4%).
An estimated 2.254 million Australians (18.1% of the workforce, down 0.1% from March) were unemployed or under-employed in April (51,000 less than last month), however this is up 95,000 (0.6%) over the past 12 months since April 2012.
In April an estimated 508,000 Australians (down 207,000) were looking for full-time work, while 646,000 (down 8,000) are now looking for part-time work.
