Ahead of the scheduled release of the official labour force data this week, new figures furnished by the Federal government suggested that Australia's employment index is fast-expanding and could exceed previously acknowledged trend.

According to the data released by the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) on Wednesday, the November employment index showed a consistent rise of job growth for the past seven months.

The department said that the monthly indicator of employment registered 0.127 in the month, notching an increase when compared to the October level of 0.058.

The encouraging figures pointed to confirmation that "employment can be predicted to grow more quickly than its long-term trend rate of 2.2 per cent per annum in coming months," according to DEEWR.

The department said that the leading job indicator predicts trending in the growth cycle of employment and turning points were identified, either gains or losses, following movements of six straight months towards the same direction, which could be upward or downward.

The leading indicator is wholly based on four weighted components namely ANZ Newspaper Job Advertisements, Dun and Bradstreet Employment Expectations, the Westpac-Melbourne Institute Leading Index of Economic Activity, and the Westpac-Melbourne Institute Consumer Sentiment Index.

In anticipation of the official job data's released on November 11, economists are projecting that Australian employment is set to rise by an average of 20,000 jobs while the country's unemployment rate is poised to improve from the 5.1 percent posted in the last two months to a current rate of 5.0 percent.
