Aussie Weekly - Further signs that the economy is improving

Harry Ottley and Belinda Allen break down the latest Aussie economic data, including consumer spending and sentiment trends, business surveys, and the crucial shift from non-market to market sector jobs. They discuss why the unemployment rate is expected to rise only modestly, the risks if the market sector can’t absorb slack, and what it all means for interest rates and Australia’s economic outlook.
