Unemployment rate increased to 3.7% in January
• The unemployment rate has jumped to 3.7% from 3.5% in January due to more than 11,500 people losing work, according to data released by the ABS last Thursday.
• The sharp drop in January was a result of a loss in 43,300 full-time workers, which was only partly offset by a 31,800 rise in part-time employment.
