New Zealand’s labour market booming
New Zealand’s labour market continues to gain momentum with a boost of 91,000 jobs advertised in the last four months. Data shows confidence is growing with an increase of almost 8,000 roles advertised on seek.co.nz in the four months to August compared to the first four months of 2013.
The strong growth seen across the country has been driven by increases in the two largest labour markets, Auckland and Wellington, with the number of jobs on New Zealand’s largest job site in each region increasing by 12 per cent and 10 per cent respectively from May to August compared to the start of 2013.
At an industry level, the sectors driving growth in the four months to August 2013 were largely white collar roles, with the exception of Trades and Services, one of the largest industry classifications on seek.co.nz with more than 7,000 roles listed during this time.
The top five growth industries from May to August 2013 are:
- Design and Architecture, up 35 per cent
- Banking and Financial Services, up 26 per cent
- Trades and Services, up 23 per cent
- Admin and Office Support, up 16 per cent
- Marketing and Communications, up 15 per cent
