Rapid rise in job advertisements
By Anna Cross | Newstalk ZB – 28 minutes ago
The job market is surging ahead.
Trade Me figures show the number of jobs advertised in the final quarter of last year were up 14% on the previous year.
Head of jobs, Peter Osborne, says the number of roles advertised in Auckland - which makes up 40% of the job market - is up 20%.
"Auckland has been a powerhouse not only in the last quarter of 2014 but over the last year. There's an awful lot of growth in the construction sector, and major developments taking place that are really driving a lot of job ad growth."
The number of jobs advertised in Christchurch is up more than 13%, and nearly 15% in Wellington.

All the good news mate

2015 a year of economic expansion
The year ahead will be one of "pure economic expansion" for New Zealand, says ANZ chief economist Cameron Bagrie.
Bagrie said New Zealand's economy had passed the economic recovery phase and entered growth mode, having not experienced a downturn since 2010.
"This economy is now in a pure economic expansion," Bagrie said.
That was being reflected in falling unemployment, strong net migration figures, steady salary growth and a New Zealand dollar hitting record highs against the aussie.
Statistics New Zealand's unadjusted figures for the year to November 30 showed New Zealand's highest-ever net gain of 49,800 migrants driven by more arrivals and fewer departures of permanent and long-term migrants.
Unemployment for the September quarter was 5.4 per cent, down from 5.6 per cent in the June quarter while salary and wage rates (including overtime) increased 1.6 per cent in the year to September 30 (public sector rose 1.0 per cent while the private sector rose 1.9 per cent).
Last week the New Zealand dollar hit its highest level against the aussie since the Australian dollar was floated in December 1983 reaching A95.73 cents, raising the prospect of parity between the two currencies for the first time.
New Zealand's strong economy is often mentioned in the same breath as the Christchurch rebuild and Auckland housing boom but the economic growth was far more widespread, with some of the regions such as Tauranga, Queenstown and Central Otago performing particularly well, Bagrie said.
"The growth story is far broader than what's been openly acknowledged."
Bagrie said New Zealand's economy was hit hard before and during the global financial crisis between 2008 to 2010 and it took a while for a reasonable level of economic growth to return, he said.
"New Zealand's economic model basically blew up in 2008.
"It was a big wake-up call."
Businesses got back to basics, focusing on reducing debt, improving productivity and collaborating more within industries, he said.
Two years ago the biggest problem facing many businesses was a lack of customer demand but now the biggest problem was trying to meet demand which required the right skilled labour to do so, he said.
"That's a challenge but that's a really nice problem to have."
This is helping wages increase and unemployment fall which is resulting in some sectors of the labour market coming under pressure, he said.
There were some challenges ahead for New Zealand including a significant national debt burden, high levels of household debt, an overvalued property market and a current account deficit with more goods, services and capital being imported than exported, he said.
"Slowly but surely the ship is getting turned around and pointed in the right direction."
Australia's economy is in a very different place to New Zealand's, he said.
"They're looking for plan B and they can't find plan B. New Zealand had to find plan B after the GFC and I'll tell you what we found plan B, C, D and E."

Here comes the bad news mate
NZ heading for deflation, leaving central bank hamstrung, BNZ says
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/busine ... p;objectid=11384026
The New Zealand economy may be in its first six-month period of deflation in more than a decade, in the face of weak crude oil prices and global over-capacity, pushing the prospects of interest rate hikes out into 2016, according to Bank of New Zealand.
Economists at BNZ are forecasting that the consumers price index fell 0.2 per cent in the December quarter and will decline 0.3 per cent in the first three months of 2015, the first two consecutive quarters of deflation since the same period of 1998-1999, when the world was grappling with the Asian financial crisis. However, using the Reserve Bank long-term series for CPI excluding interest rates, New Zealand hasn't seen more than one quarter of deflation since the great depression of the early 1930s.
BNZ head of research Stephen Toplis says for New Zealand, deflation during the current cycle isn't the ugly phenomena being grappled with in, say, the euro-zone, where consumer prices fell 0.2 per cent in 2014 and where demand has been dwindling.
By contrast, New Zealand's economy is operating at or above capacity, the housing market is still steaming, and kiwis are showing no inclination to rein in their spending.

小老鼠，这是好事啊。说不定央行因此会降息了，或者，至少会鼓励商业银行多多放贷。
