Press Release – New Zealand Government
The Government’s economic recovery plan continues to be reflected in the labour market, with more people in work and unemployment falling.
Stats NZ figures show employment rose by 15,000 in the March quarter, with 14,000 more women in work.
The unemployment rate fell from 4.9 percent to 4.7 percent. This compares with the Treasury’s Half year Economic and Fiscal Update forecast unemployment rate of 6.5 percent.
“The Government’s plan to keep people connected to their job and accelerate the recovery has been reflected in these positive results. An extra 32,000 people are in jobs since September 2020, when unemployment peaked at 5.2 percent,” Grant Robertson said.

Small businesses are not only the heart of our economy – they’re also the heart of our communities. They provide important goods and services, as well as great employment opportunities. They know and love their locals. And after a tough year, they need our support!
This Friday, 9 April, is the first national Small Business Day. It’s an opportunity to show your local spots some love. Is the lolly cake at the café on the corner a real treat? Love having a chat to your neighbourhood greengrocer? Perhaps there’s a nearby craft brewery you’ve been meaning to check out, or a tailor who could stitch your favourite jeans back into shape.
