    The unemployment rate has stayed static for another quarter

    The unemployment rate has stayed static for another quarter


    Stats NZ figures just out - show the rate remained at 5.1 percent in the March quarter.

    Number of full-time workers fell by 45 thousand over the year, and part-time employment grew by 25 thousand.

    Herald Business Editor at Large, Liam Dann, says today's figures are a surprise.

    He says this is good news but it hasn't felt like it - and economists will be scratching their heads.
