NEW ZEALAND: Statistics New Zealand's new experimental weekly employment

indicator series notes that "the most accurate measure, 'Number of paid jobs -

27 days', shows that in the week before the alert level 4 lockdown began and

non-essential businesses closed there were over 2.216 million paid jobs. This

fell to 2.108 million in the last week of alert level 4, before rising back to

almost 2.199 million jobs in the week ending 17 May 2020. The more timely, but

less accurate, measures indicate that number of paid jobs continue to rise

throughout May and dip again into the first week of June."
