Employment indicators: Paid jobs week ended 17 May 2020 is the first release of the new weekly employment indicators. It includes more information, industry breakdowns, and data from the more timely measures. Stats NZ advise caution in making decisions based on this data..

This data series compliments the monthly employment indicators (MEI). The MEI is released with a monthly frequency around 28 days after end of reference month. It uses more robust statistical processes (for example, estimates for business non-response) so is released with more detailed information across industries and regions. It has a longer back series dating back to April 1999.

See Employment indicators: April 2020 for the most recent release of MEI.
