    Confidence in the labour market is shrinking

    Confidence in the labour market is shrinking


    The Westpac-McDermott Miller index shows employment confidence has reached its lowest level since mid-Covid - in September 2020.

    It fell in four of 11 regions - including the biggest jobs market - Auckland.

    Westpac senior economist, Michael Gordon, says businesses are advertising fewer jobs.

    He says some are just looking for more specialist roles and others are overstaffed after keeping workers through the downturn.
