Queensland's unemployment rate rose 0.1 per cent in October, despite the fact more than 12,600 people found work.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics released its latest labour force figures on Thursday, which showed the state's seasonally adjusted figures had jumped from 5.9 to 6.0 per cent.
Queensland continues to have the second-highest unemployment rate across the country, after Victoria's figures fell and Tasmania leap-frogged the two to take out the top spot.
That was despite around 12,600 Queenslanders finding work in the month, which was offset by an increase in the number of people looking for work as the participation rate jumped 0.3 per cent to 65.8.
The number of people employed across the state now sits at almost two-and-a-half million, compared to the 155,500 who are out of work.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said on Thursday she had made it very clear she wanted to keep "seeing an unemployment rate in this state with a five in front of it".
Ms Palaszczuk said Labor had created 122,500 jobs in Queensland since being elected in 2015 and voters would not forget the thousands of jobs Opposition Leader Tim Nicholls cut when he was treasurer under Campbell Newman.
"Real people with real lives with real families," she said on Thursday.
"I want people in this state to have hope and opportunity."
Australia's national unemployment rate fell by 0.1 per cent over the same period, from 5.5 to 5.4 per cent.
