Western Australia's unemployment rate has fallen to a seasonally adjusted 4.5 per cent in November compared with an unrevised 4.7 per cent in October.
The Bureau of Statistics figures show WA still has the lowest unemployment rate in Australia.
The national unemployment rate was 5.2 per cent, down from 5.4 per cent in October.
Total employment rose by 54,600 to 11.416 million in the month, seasonally adjusted.
Full-time employment rose by 55,100 to 8.033 million in November and part-time employment was down by 400 to 3.383 million.
The participation rate in November was a record high 66.1 per cent, up from an unrevised 65.9 per cent in October.
Economists forecast total employment to have risen by 20,000 in November, with a participation rate of 65.8 per cent, down from 65.9 per cent in the previous month.
The unemployment rate in fell in every state except Tasmania where it rose to 5.4 per cent in November from 5.2 per cent in October.
The unemployment rate fell in NSW to 5.1 per cent (down from 5.4 per cent); Victoria (5.5 per cent); Queensland (5.5 per cent); and South Australia (5.6 per cent).
CommSec chief economist Craig James said it was a tremendous result but probably raises more questions than it answers.
"If employment is surging, why are the numbers of hours worked barely moving?" said Mr James.
"And if more Australians are working than ever before, why aren't consumers spending?"
CommSec expects the jobless rate to ease to around 4.5 per cent over the coming year.
"But if the Federal Government was to provide a much needed boost to labour supply by lifting the migrant intake and easing work visa restrictions, the job market may not need to tighten as much as expected," said Mr James.
"Clearly a boost to labour supply would reduce upward pressure on wages and prices and therefore allow rates to remain on hold for longer," he said.
