The lifeblood of employment and profit growth
Altair Asset Management
No chart, but one statistic that explains the current state of the economy is final domestic demand up only 0.9% y-o-y in Q1 2016 compared with 3.1% y-o-y for GDP. Final domestic demand is the lifeblood for employment growth and company profit growth and is still growing sub-par relative to GDP; the latter boosted strong growth in export volumes but at a cost with export prices falling sharply. Persistently low growth in final domestic demand explains why employment growth has slowed; why full-time employment is falling; why wages growth is very low; and why so many Australian companies are experiencing low or no earnings growth.
