Employment in New Zealand
With a population of only 4 million people there is an abundance of space and work opportunities to be found in New Zealand.
Due to this tiny population there are many skills shortages, which are most acute in agriculture, healthcare and manufacturing.
Working in New Zealand provides excellent opportunities for both specialists and those wanting to build a new range of skills but the red tape can sometimes seem a little daunting.
