Answer

I am advised that the time, hence the expense, required to answer this question within the timeframe for written parliamentary questions is not in the public interest, in accordance with Speaker's Ruling 210/6, as specific Hamilton City information would require collation by Statistics New Zealand. Labour market statistics for the Waikato region can be found in the Household Labour Force Survey statistics at https://www.stats.govt.nz/information-releases/labour-market-statistics-june-2026-quarter/.
