The unemployment rate in Australia came in at a seasonally adjusted 6.0 percent in June, the Australian Bureau of Statistics said on Thursday.
That was lower than estimates for 6.1 percent, although it was up from the downwardly revised 5.9 percent in May (originally 6.0 percent).
The Australian economy added 7,300 jobs in June -topping forecasts for a flat reading following the downwardly revised increase of 40,000 jobs in the previous month (originally 42,000).
The participation rate inched up to 64.8 percent, beating expectations for 64.7 percent, which would have been unchanged.
