The Jobs Online results released today show skilled job vacancies increased by 10.0 percent over the last three months and by 33.6 percent since June 2009.
“I’m particularly pleased to see strong and consistent growth in the number of skilled jobs being advertised online,” says Employment Minister Paula Bennett.
