Por qué importa
Jobs drive income and spending, and a tight labour market pushes wages and inflation up. the Reserve Bank of New Zealand watches employment closely, so strong figures support the New Zealand dollar and weak ones raise the odds of rate cuts. Full-time jobs carry more weight than part-time.
Cómo se calcula
Most countries count employment from a household labour force survey; job openings come from employer surveys or job-board data; announced job cuts are tallied from company statements.
Qué significan los cambios
- Compare with the consensus and with population growth.
- Openings falling while employment holds up is the "soft landing" pattern central banks hope for.
- Quits rising means workers are confident they can find better-paid jobs: wage pressure ahead.
Mayor de lo esperado: A stronger figure than expected points to a healthier economy: it usually supports the New Zealand dollar and local stocks, and can push bond yields up.
Menor de lo esperado: A weaker figure than expected points to slowing activity: the New Zealand dollar tends to soften and markets price in lower rates.
Una breve historia
Labour force surveys spread after the Second World War, following the US Current Population Survey (1940s); the US job openings survey (JOLTS) began in 2000.
New Zealand was the first country to adopt formal inflation targeting, in 1990.
