Hon GRANT ROBERTSON (Minister of Finance): The Government's efforts to secure the recovery are being reflected in the jobs market. For the fifth month in a row, the SEEK New Zealand Employment Report shows a record-breaking number of jobs advertised, with job ads increasing by 2 percent in July from the previous month. For the year, job ads rose 88 percent while job ad numbers are now 27 percent above pre-COVID highs. Unemployment has fallen to 4 percent, reflecting the stronger than expected economic activity and an economy operating above pre-COVID levels.
