Hon GRANT ROBERTSON: Well, wage growth rose at a faster rate, with the average hourly wage up 4.8 percent to $36.18 an hour. Statistics New Zealand also reported that 64 percent of workers received annual wage increases in the March quarter compared with 46 percent a year ago. We recognise New Zealanders are doing it tough at the moment with regard to cost of living increases, but our strong economic and fiscal position means that we are well positioned to respond and help ease the pressure on New Zealanders. The half-yearly update forecast from the Treasury also indicates that 2022 is the only year in the forecast period in which inflation will outstrip wages. The investments made by the Government to keep businesses open and Kiwis in work has paid dividends. Projections of 10 percent unemployment were avoided because of the actions we've taken, and today's numbers highlight how successful our plan has been to keep and support New Zealanders in work.
