Unemployment rates in NZ are on par if not lower than most countries due to a bit of a virus that's doing the rounds currently, and of course the pessimistic economic outlook will reduce commodity demand so manufacturing will suffer as a result.
We do have the benefit of a population that is virtually free of COVID so will likely weather the storm better than most due to not having thousands of dead people, and that is as a result of our government's containment strategy that is the envy of much of the world. Biting the hand that feeds you??
