Unemployment rate drops to 4.1 per cent ahead of RBA's next rates meeting

 Australia's unemployment rate fell from 4.3 to 4.1 per cent in December, according to seasonally adjusted figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).

The figure comes less than two weeks before the Reserve Bank of Australia's next interest rates meeting, where the board will factor in economic indicators, including the jobs market.
