Wage inflation higher than cost inflation.

We are lucky to live here.

Yes we are!

Anecdotal evidence like that may be unreliable, Tony. Returning NEw
Zealanders have certainly contributed to population pressures, as has
a greatly increased rate of immigrants, including a lot of students
who have dought NZ residence during or on completion of courses.

But to get back to the unempoymnet rate, National not only changed the definition to reuce the rate, but are resporting to 'problematic' was
to pretend that people are in work: http://www.newshub.co.nz/business/major-recruitment-company-accused-of-exploiting-jobless-2016110219

And yes of course National MPs may not have been involved at all in
that illegal activity, but they have made it clear to WINZ that the
only statistic that matters is getting people off benefit.

Average wages / salaries may well have increased higher than inflatin,
but it is a fact that wage rates for many - perhaps even the majority
- have increased either not at all or lower than cost inflation. The
number of people needing assistance who are already working continues
to grow, as do the number of children missing out on National's
previous aim of equal opportunity . . .

So you're saying WINZ is still operating under similar guidelines to
those it did under Labour Rich. Well trolled marxist muppet :)
