About these numbers

Work measures come from the Household Labour Force Survey (Labour market statistics, September 2026 quarter), not seasonally adjusted. The likely range is the estimate plus or minus the sampling error Stats NZ publishes.

Clearly different means the two likely ranges don't overlap. Where no range is published, differences of more than 5% are called out.

Population is Stats NZ's estimated resident population; migration is provisional 12-month figures; pay is the Quarterly Employment Survey; living costs are the household living-costs price indexes.
