Hon GRANT ROBERTSON: Other than the warm embrace from the other side of the House, Westpac's economists have said that the pace of growth in the job market has been steady in recent months and has now fully recovered from a dip in the early part of the year during the peak of the Omicron wave. On the strong growth in youth employment, Westpac's economists said that there is still significant scope to bring more people into the labour force. And BNZ's economists said these employment indicators point to a higher jobs level in the September quarter compared to the June quarter.
