Important data were published overnight from Australia in form of Unemployment Rate and Employment Change. The most important of the readings - change of employment in September - failed. Employment growth was expected by 15.2k people, and the final result was the only 5.6k. This result, however, does not matter when the unemployment rate decreases. The previous reading was 5.3%, analysts did not expect improvement. Nevertheless, the final result was much better - the unemployment rate decreased to the level of 5.0%.
The unemployment rate generally moves slowly, so changes of only a few tenths of a percent are still considered significant. Also, note that the unemployment rate does not account for discouraged workers. Therefore, in an economically depressed environment, such as that which occurred in Cold War era East Germany, the Unemployment Rate may not accurately reflect the extent of problems
