Additional details
“Payroll jobs fell by 0.4% over the month to 22 August.”
“Payroll jobs fell by 2% in Victoria while for the rest of Australia, payroll jobs rose 0.1%.”

Market reaction
AUD/USD is flatlined around 0.7275, unperturbed by the mixed Australian NAB Survey and payroll data. Quiet trading and a lack of strong catalysts could be the reasons behind the listless performance of the aussie.
