New Zealand’s economy can best be described as a mixed economy. The country has moved away from a reliance on farming as the principal generator of wealth and employment and this has seen a demand for professionals across a broad spectrum.
Manufacturing has grown in importance and most manufacturers aggressively chase export markets. Exports are important to the economy. The strength of New Zealand’s economy over recent years has highlighted a growing skill base shortage in the New Zealand labour market. The labour market continues to record strong growth.
Unemployment which was running at levels in excess of 10% in the mid to late 1980’s has stablisied in recent years at levels of 4.5 - 7%. It is currently at 5%.
Skills in real demand include, computer technicians and programmers, I.T. specialists, nurses, radiotherapists, engineers, marketing professionals, finance executives including accountants, and most especially tradesman (of every description) and technicians. Obviously demand for certain occupations waxes and wanes and it is very difficult to make generalisations.

In some parts of New Zealand there is a chronic skills shortages yet in others there are surpluses within the same occupational group.
There are a number of employment companies, executive search firms and government agencies that we can put you in touch with once you make the decision to emigrate. We cannot guarantee employment, we do our best to assist you with the right contacts. The reality for most would be migrants is that prospective employers will be reluctant to offer employment without (a) first meeting you and (b) without you having permanent residence or an open work permit.
 While this is a frustration for would be migrants and an inaccessible obstacle for many, it is a reality. Those that are prepared to travel to New Zealand and attend interviews or to approach companies directly, stand a far greater chance of success. We would therefore caution you against using any consultant or lawyer who promises you residence without any guarantees or full refunds in the event that you are unsuccessful in your application for employment.
