We advise the Government on growing and managing tourism in New Zealand, to support our economy and regions. Tourism benefits our local communities and businesses. It supports people-to-people connections and fosters a shared sense of national pride and delivers economic benefits through job creation, regional development, and increased spending in local economies.
The Migrant Employment Data (MED) combines Immigration New Zealand’s visa data with Pay As You Earn (PAYE) tax data to provide measures of how many people are engaged in the labour market each month, by industry, visa type, geographic area, and demographic characteristics.
We survey recent migrants about their experiences of life in New Zealand and report on their settlement outcomes. We also survey New Zealanders about their perceptions of migrants and immigration to better understand community attitudes.
