This was the eighth straight month of gains in job advertisement, as the economy reopened from coronavirus lockdowns. "The fast-paced recovery in job ads means solid employment gains should continue into early 2021 at least," ANZ senior economist Catherine Birch said. "It also suggests the unemployment rate could fall quite quickly in 2021," she added. On an annual basis, job ads grew by 5.0 percent, a rebound given COVID-19 lockdowns in April had sagged down the economy into the first recession in three decades. source: Australia and New Zealand Banking Group
