Press Release Body: Employment rates in Australia rose for the 14th month in a row
in December. This shows good economic growth in the country and may encourage people
to think that Australian immigration is a good way to find employment as well as new
surroundings. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the unemployment
rate fell to 4.3 per cent from 4.5 per cent in November.

Craig James, chief equities economist at CommSec, said: \"The Australian job market
is in spanking good health. Not only is the country experiencing the longest period
of job gains in 27 years, but unemployment is again edging closer to a landmark
three-point-something result.\" The number of people employed in Australia rose by
20,100 to 10.6 million last month which will no doubt make Australian immigration an
even more attractive prospect.

Meanwhile, the strength of the Australian dollar has also increased. It climbed to
87.87 cents in Sydney last week and may reach 88.50 cents this week, according to
John Rothfield, a senior currency strategist at Bank of America.
