Australia wage growth slowed to 3.3% annually in the first quarter as private sector pay gains hit a four-year low. This follows a 3.4% annual increase in the previous quarter, matching economist forecasts for a cooling labor market. The data suggests easing inflationary pressure from labor costs, potentially giving the central bank more room to maintain current interest rates.
