Hon GRANT ROBERTSON (Minister of Finance): The BNZ/Seek Employment Report released yesterday showed a 10.6 percent jump in job ads last month, which was the best since July last year. The BNZ says that this strong rebound in job advertising was also encouraging, given that, for the first six days of the month, Auckland was still in alert level 3. The regions are also leading the charge, with job advertisements up 21 percent, month-on-month, in both the Bay of Plenty and West Coast.
