It appears that critical information on U.S. inflation, jobs and unemployment for October may disappear in a data “black hole,” as Trump administration officials say some key economic figures for the month may be lost forever.

South Africa’s unemployment rate dropped for the first time this year in the third quarter as the construction, community and trade industries added jobs.

The unemployment rate has plummeted in October as 42,000 Australians find a job. The latest figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics show the unemployment rate has dropped to 4.3 per cent. The fall came as 42,000 Australians entered the workforce.

The unemployment rate rose in the third quarter, making it more likely the Bank of England will cut borrowing costs in December.
