When interpreting data from the Migrant Employment Data, it is important to note that the estimates presented in these studies are the work of the author, not Stats NZ or individual data suppliers. The tourism sector was mapped based on tourism product ratios for the year ended March 2020 from the latest Tourism Satellite Account [1]. However, COVID-19 has significantly affected Aotearoa New Zealand’s tourism sector and we anticipate that these definitions may no longer reflect the tourism sector accurately. These ratios are also calculated at the national level, and do not account for any differences in industries between regions. It is assumed that the proportion of migrants, and the demographical composition within each industry matches those proportions in tourism within the same industry. We advise interpreting these figures with caution.
When interpreting data from the Household Labour Force Survey, it is important to note that the estimates presented in these studies are the work of the author, not Stats NZ or individual data suppliers. The tourism sector was mapped based on tourism product ratios for the year ended March 2020 from the latest Tourism Satellite Account52. However, COVID-19 has significantly affected Aotearoa New Zealand’s tourism sector and we anticipate that these definitions may no longer reflect the tourism sector as accurately. These ratios are also calculated at the national level, and do not account for any differences in industries between regions. It is assumed that the demographical composition within each industry matches those proportions in tourism within the same industry. Data was tied to respondent’s main job, so if a person’s second (or third etc) job is tourism related, that would not have been captured in this data. We advise interpreting these figures with caution.
