The number of filled jobs held by wage and salary earners grew during the year to September.

Figures released today by Statistics New Zealand (SNZ) show the number of seasonally adjusted filled jobs in September 2011 increased by 1.2% compared with September 2010.

However, the number of seasonally adjusted filled jobs was relatively flat, down 0.1%, compared with August 2011, according to SNZ's national employment indicator.

"Filled jobs were flat in September 2011, following a strong rise in August," SNZ's industry and labour statistics project manager Daniel Griffiths said.

“The number of filled jobs rose 1.2% over the year and this month is the 17th consecutive month of positive annual job growth," Mr Griffiths said.

The national employment indicator is an experimental series that covers filled jobs held by people being paid a wage or salary during the month.

It provides an early indication of change in the number of filled jobs at the national level.
