Australia has achieved its ninth straight month of job gains, with 14,000 new jobs added to the economy in June.

Full-time employment grew by 62,000 jobs, while part-time employment decreased by 48,000. Full-time jobs have now increased by 115,400 positions in the past two months - the strongest streak of full-time job gains in 29 years, according to CommSec.

Figures released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics on Thursday show the unemployment rate has held steady at 5.6 per cent, which remains near its lowest level in four years after May's figures were revised up.

The more reliable figure of trend participation for 15-64 year olds, which controls for the effects of an ageing population, increased by 0.1 percentage points to 77.3 per cent in June.
