7:06 pm on 17 October 2013

There's been an upward trend in job advertisements which is an encouraging sign that there will be increased income growth for households in the coming months.

The latest ANZ jobs index shows total job advertising rose 1.1% in September and just over 4% year on year.

ANZ senior economist Sharon Zollner says the increase in job advertising and the labour market in general has been more gradual than most people would prefer, but there are signs it will pick up in coming months.
