Hon GRANT ROBERTSON: The strength of the jobs market is continuing to support New Zealand's economy. Stats New Zealand reported last week that filled jobs in January rose at a faster pace of 0.5 percent or 10,630 jobs on December to reach a new high of $2.3 million. This marks 14 months of continuous job gains, despite the effects of the pandemic. The robust jobs market shows the Government's actions in response to COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic to protect lives and livelihoods has proved to be the best economic approach. The way for us to support New Zealanders and get more money in their pockets is to have people in work with decent wages, and that is what we are working on.
