Unemployment is now at 3.2 percent.
Wow.
Wonderful.
Can I think of another word beginning with 'W'?
Weird.
The percentage of people aged 18 to 64 claiming an unemployment benefit (Jobseeker) is 6 percent.
There's 188,000 of them.
In Northland the official unemployment rate is 3.3 percent, but 10.2 percent are on the Jobseeker benefit.
Lots of people are no longer 'unemployed' because nobody is requiring them to look for a job. OR they are content working a few hours (but not enough to affect their benefit).

Yes, yes yes.
It is so frustrating that pretty much no-one knows this truth.
Thank you lindsay for keeping on bering this drum.
I thought that as well, but no scrutiny by our "free press"
Labour gets another pass. You could see the smirk on Robinson's face.
ALL governments have been disguising unemployment figures and hiding them in various benefits for generations
