The construction sector says the grass isn't always greener in Australia.
New research suggests the long-held belief of Australia offering better financial opportunities in the industry than New Zealand may no longer be true.
The Construction and Infrastructure Workforce Development Council says, in some cases, salary and housing prices paint New Zealand as the better option.
Chief Executive Phil Aldridge told Mike Hosking that there’s a lot more to consider than just salaries.
He said that the income-housing gap shrinks as people get older and want to settle down, so it’s actually more attractive to buy a house and raise a family in New Zealand.
