New Zealanders' wellbeing has held up relatively well during COVID-19. The Wellbeing Outlook released by the Government today shows life satisfaction has remained high during the pandemic, with 86 percent of respondents to the March wellbeing supplement of the household labour force survey reporting high satisfaction—the same as in December 2020, and slightly higher than in September and June 2020. In fact, life satisfaction levels reported across the past year during COVID-19 have actually remained higher than in the 2018 general social survey.
