Australia added 71,500 jobs in February, a huge jump and the biggest rise in total employment in more than a decade.

二月份澳大利亚新增71500个工作岗位,这是近十多年来就业率最大的一次增长。
 
Full-time1 employment jumped by 17,800 and part-time employment was up by 53,700, said the Bureau of Statistics.
 
There was also a rise in the total workforce2, which comprises those in work plus those looking for it. The unemployment rate remained at 5.4%. 
 
Analysts3 said the data was a sign that economic conditions were improving.
 
"It's spectacular employment growth," said Brian Redican, a senior economist4 at Macquarie. Most analysts expected only about 9,000 jobs to be added in February.
 
"With that kind of employment growth, obviously policymakers would be feeling pretty comfortable with the current policy settings," added Mr Redican.
 
Easing cycle
 
Central Bank Governor Glenn Stevens had been easing monetary5 policy since late 2011, in an attempt to stoke growth.
 
Many analysts have predicted that the resources mining boom, which has helped Australia through the global economic slowdown, could be coming to an end.
 
However, since December Mr Stevens has held interest rates at 3%.
 
Analysts said it seems that the previous rate cuts are beginning to have a positive effect on the economy.
 
Housing market conditions have also shown signs of improvement.
 
However, the strength of the Australian dollar remains6 a source of concern, as it hurts manufacturing and other sectors7.
 
The Australian dollar jumped by more than half a cent to $1.036, as traders became less hopeful that another interest rate cut was on the way.
