Labour Market Factsheets are designed to give quick facts about key interest groups in the New Zealand Labour Market. There are factsheets on five groups- Maori, Pacific Peoples, Females, Youth and Older Workers.

Factsheets provide a statistical overview focusing on the last year. They include information on indicators such as labour force participation, employment and unemployment. More in depth analysis of labour market outcomes for each of these groups is available in the Department of Labour’s series of annual reports.

Labour Market Factsheets have been developed by the Department of Labour using information from the Household Labour Force Survey (HLFS). Factsheets are updated quarterly following the release of the HLFS.
