Since 1999 New Zealand has enjoyed a sustained period of economic growth (
Wikipedia - New Zealand). As of August 2005 the official unemployment rate in New Zealand was 3.7%. For the most up-to-date unemployment statistics see Statistics New Zealand.

The major industries in New Zealand are agricultural, manufacturing, and services. Tourism and consultancy are growing sectors (MarketNewZealand.com).
 

Many large international companies (eg in the finance and services sector) have offices in New Zealand. Search individual company websites or go to Wikipedia - List of New Zealand Companies for more information.

The New Zealand Immigration Service website produces an ‘Immediate Skills Shortage List’ and a ‘Long Term Skills Shortage List’. These lists are useful ways of identifying potential job opportunities in New Zealand. In August 2005 the website highlighted the following shortage skills areas:

  • agriculture;
  • building;
  • health and community services;
  • manufacturing;
  • utilities (gas, water, electricity).

It is advisable to check the New Zealand Immigration Service website for the latest information on skill shortages.

Working conditions are generally good and the website of the Department of Labour - New Zealand even has a section on work life balance. Employees are entitled to three weeks of holiday a year, rising to four weeks a year in 2007.

Language requirements

New Zealand’s two main languages are English and Maori. Most jobs advertised will require good oral and written English
