KEY POINTS:
Australia's employers created a solid 22,000 new jobs in February while more people were enticed into the labour force, boding well for consumer demand and economic growth.
The result was considered all the stronger as 20,700 of those jobs were full-time.
Still, there were more people looking for jobs, so the unemployment rate ticked up to 4.6 per cent, from a 30-year low of 4.5 per cent in January.
