A Roy Morgan Research survey on Australia’s labour market has found that the real unemployment rate was 9.2 per cent in November 2015. The number of people in the workforce now totals 12,954,000 (up 297,000 since November 2014), and a record 11,768,000 Australians are employed (up 372,000 since November 2014). Meanwhile, the number of people who are under-employed has risen by 119,000 in the last 12 months to a record 1,350,000 (10.4 per cent of the workforce). The official unemployment rate was 5.9 per cent in October 2015. Roy Morgan Research executive chairman Gary Morgan says that although Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has gained popular support amongst Australian electors, the L-NP has not gained majority support among young electors, and the employment situation for students over the next few months is crucial for the Federal Government.
