At just 4.5% New Zealand is well known to have one of the OECD's lowest unemployment rates. Not all of us know quite how successfully New Zealand has been at controlling unemployment and ensuring as a country we continue to thrive, grow, and provide an enviable lifestyle with low crime, high standards of prosperity and opportunity.
Remarkably New Zealand had unemployment down to 3.4% in 2004. Even in the global financial crisis of 2008 -2009 our unemployment rate still only rose to 7.3% for one quarter until abruptly declining back down to current levels.
In all likelihood, New Zealand's generally stable governance should see consistently low unemployment for many years to come. New Zealanders may all have healthy differences on which political party to support but compared to many countries we are truly fortunate to have a consistently stable economy. For 14 years now, Automotive Employment [NZ} limited has tracked this progress.
