WPAC’s note is detailed, I pulled out mainly their comments on the potential for wage growth ahead:
stunning outcome
a very robust update
suggesting firms are finding the workers they need at the price they are willing to pay
While firms have been reluctant to pay higher wages to get the workers they need, they do appear to be adapting to conditions and with the fall in underemployment, the pressure will only grow as the supply of labour is struggling to match demand
The point about wage growth (which, up to now has been very slow) is that the RBA wants it at around 3 to 3.5% to help drive inflation towards the Bank’s target.
