Although the overall unemployment rate for Australia in November 2016 remained steady at 5.6%, South Australia and Western Australia continue to climb and there appears to be no sign of it stopping. South Australia and Western Australia increased by the largest margins with SA moving to 7.0% (from 6.5%) seasonally adjusted which is now the nations highest unemployment figure. Western Australia moved to 6.9% (from 6.5%) and with the last of the major mining construction projects in Western Australia's north are coming to an end and those workers looking at being tipped out to the market, the rate for WA could move even higher.
