Unemployment is a lot lower than it could be, but it’s part-time rather than full-time work that’s growing.
A growing body of evidence suggests that while New Zealand appears to be in the grip of a labour shortage, there are still many Kiwis wanting more work. Economists believe New Zealand dodged a bullet with unemployment currently riding at 4.7 per cent, much better than expected post-Covid. But much of this appears to have been underpinned by a surge in part-time work, which was 3.1 per cent higher in the March quarter than a year ago, while full-time employment fell 0.4 per cent.
