Fed: Unemployment jumps as employment =3

Employment Minister PETER REITH says the fall in employment follows very strong job
growth so far this year.

He says the figures are in line with long-term trend rates of employment growth.

Mr REITH says the government believes employment growth will slow over the remainder
of the financial year.
