The Department of Labour maintains a set of labour market analysis "tools" that provide data at an occupational and industry level. These tools are interactive and enable the user to select a particular industry, occupation or region and “drill down” to compare labour market information with other sectors, regions or the national average. There are currently two labour market analysis tools:

Key Information Tool (KIT)

The Key Information Tool (KIT) gives users headline labour market information from a range of sources in a single, easy to access place. The tool also includes links to labour market reports on the DoL website so that people can easily access related analytical work. The combination of these various sources produces a well-rounded picture of the state of the New Zealand labour market.

Tu Mai Iwi Tool

The Tu Mai Iwi Tool provides a customised profile of iwi labour market indicators that allows for comparison between about 100 individual iwi, Maori and the general New Zealand population.

If you cannot open the tools on-line please contact the Department of Labour at info@dol.govt.nz and request a CD of this data. Please remember to include a postal address.
