"Those without a job
These "Jobless" figures are also based on the
Household Labour Force Survey run by Statistics NZ,
but include a wider definition of unemployment,
usually referred to "those without a job and wanting
a job".
According to Statistics NZ, the difference between the official "unemployment" figures and the "jobless figures" is that many of the people on the jobless measurement are available for work, but not actively seeking it. The reasons for not actively seeking work range from people being discouraged because they lack the skills needed, or were the wrong age, or that the right work was not available in their area, or they were only looking for jobs in their newspaper. This measurement also includes those actively seeking work but not yet available for it.
