Employment figures a ‘big warning bell’ for the Albanese government

Sky News host James Morrow says the latest employment figures are a “big warning bell” for the government. The unemployment rate rose further, more than expected, in January, jumping to 4.1 per cent, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. “It’s not good,” Mr Morrow told Sky News host Rita Panahi. Mr Morrow said bank economists see the “softening” employment market continuing. “The pressures are really starting to show,” he said.
