【澳大利亚】澳大利亚5月份新增就业4.2万，远超预期的1万

Australia adds 42,000 jobs in May, flying past 10,000 estimated

Australia added a whopping 42,000 jobs in May, flying past the 10,000 additions that analysts in a Reuters poll estimated, the Australian Bureau of Statistics said Thursday.

Unemployment rate for May was at 5.5 percent, also coming in lower than the projected 5.7 percent.

The Australian dollar strengthened following the release of the country's latest employment data at 9:30 HK/SIN, trading 0.5 percent higher against the greenback.

Australia's employment figures have traditionally been volatile but the trend in recent months has pointed to an improvement in the labor market, Steven Milch, chief economist at Suncorp, told CNBC's "Squawk Box."

"It's certainly strong. It's the third consecutive month of strong numbers, stronger than what we were expecting," he said.

澳大利亚统计局周四表示，澳大利亚5月份新增就业大约4.2万，远远超过了路透调查分析师估计的1万。

五月份，澳大利亚的失业率为5.5%，也低于预期的5.7%。

随着该国最新就业数据发布后，澳元升值，兑美元上涨0.5%。

Suncorp首席经济学家Steven Milch告诉CNBC，澳大利亚的就业人数通常是波动的，但最近几个月的趋势表明劳动力市场有所改善。

他说："毫无疑问，就业数据很强劲，这已经是澳大利亚就业数据连续第三个月出现大幅度增长，比我们预期的更强劲。"
