Abstract: - We analyse how New Zealand’s regions have been impacted by previous labour market cycles. - We find that different regions experience very different labour market cycles. For example, Northland’s unemployment rate typically increases by twice as much as Wellington’s during labour market contractions. - Further work will compare these findings with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic crisis in more detail.
