→Unemployment statistics wrong
: That's very different from the number reported in the content page. Could that be due to how unemployment is measured in New Zealand? E.g., are many people simply dropped off the rolls after 6 months, even though they continue to be unemployed?--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 10:19, 17 May 2007 (EDT)

::The latest OECD standardised unemployment rate (SUR) for NZ is 3.7%[http://stats.oecd.org/WBOS/Default.aspx?QueryName=251&QueryType=View]. The SUR counts those of working age who are without work, available for work and actively seeking work and is a sound basis for comparing unemployment rates in different countries.[http://stats.oecd.org/mei/default.asp?lang=e&subject=10].--[[User:Jalapeno|Jalapeno]] 12:36, 17 May 2007 (EDT)
