Total employment increased by around 25 700, from 3 507 600 in September – November 2007 to an all-time high of 3 533 300 (provisional figure) in October – December 2007. Over the same period, the labour force increased by around 15 900, from 3 635 200 to 3 651 100 (provisional figure).

Over the same period, the number of underemployed persons also decreased by around 4 800, from 80 200 to 75 400 (provisional figure).
Commentary:
The labour market remained robust in October – December 2007, with total employment surging to another record high of over 3.53 million and posting a faster increase than the labour force. The number of unemployed persons (not seasonally adjusted) thus declined further to below 120 000. Concurrently, the underemployment situation also improved.
