BNZ/SEEK Employment Report: Better By Far

NEW ZEALAND

The latest BNZ/SEEK employment report notes that "the 55.3% annual growth in March's job advertising reflected a weakened base period, when COVID-induced shutdowns were starting to bite. However, this is not to belittle the latest result. As perspective, March 2021 ads proved 5.8% higher than they were back in March 2019 (in seasonally adjusted form). This sense of solidity was shored up by the fact advertising lifted 10.6% in the month of March. This was the strongest monthly gain since July, and came after a period where monthly growth trended down to almost naught by February."
