We now know from Peter Martin's article in the Age today that yesterday's jump in employment of 71,500 was due to several "amplified" errors,and that the Bureau of Statistics
would "prefer people to look at its estimate of what it calls the trend...11,600" increase in employment in February.
I guess we are all guilty of not doing our homework by actually reading the ABS report.
