Incoming migrants are giving the New Zealand workforce a boost.
Stats NZ has revealed the year to August saw record high net-migration, with 110,000 more people moving to New Zealand than leaving.
Westpac Senior Economist, Satish Ranchhod, told Kate Hawkesby that part of the reason job ads have come down is because businesses are able to find staff more easily.
He said that without migrants, they had to advertise much more widely and were still unable to find the workers they needed.
