February employment
data from Japan
Job-To-Applicant
Ratio 1.58
Jobless Rate 2.5%
The background to
this data is jobs growth in Japan - employment indicators show
improvement. January's drop in the u/e rate (there was a jobs spike
in the accommodation, eating & drinking service industries with
tourist demand from Asia during the lunar new year holiday) was
expected to retrace a little in February.
