Analysts are predicting unemployment to remain unchanged at 5.7 percent, when the latest job figures for December are released today.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics is set to reveal its labour force data for December, and most experts are expecting a rise of around 0.1 percent in employment, which would mean the unemployment rate would remain unchanged at 5.7 percent.
