New Zealand's latest unemployment figure didn't quite land where many expected.
Stats NZ figures show it's risen to 4% in the three months to December.
Business NZ Advocacy Director, Catherine Beard told Mike Hosking that the numbers feel wonky.
She says they expected the figure to be higher after the Employment and Manufacturers Association highlighted the rise in enquiries about restructures and redundancies.
