Unemployment falls to 3.2%

This was fall from 3.3% the previous quarter, which had been statistically revised down from an earlier estimate of 3.4%

Stats NZ says there was also a slight rise in total job numbers.

The seasonally adjusted number of employed people rose by 3,000 people to 2,831,000. This was a much more modest increase compared with last quarter.

Neither full-time nor part-time employment changed substantially over the quarter, but both measures retained the increases from the previous three quarters.
