Jobs & Recession in Wellington

Posted by Elaine on 18 March 2009

Just back from an awesome week's holiday in sunny Hawkes Bay, Rotorua and Tongariro National Park (it snowed - but looked gorgeous).   Am pleased to report that despite the recession which has affected New Zealand, but not as bad as the UK and US, people are still relocating here.   I met a couple of accountants last week who had moved from the UK, they had the usual problems finding good accommodation to rent in the area they wanted, but overall they were thankful they had taken the plunge and come to live here.   So for anyone having second thoughts, the story from down here from my own and other recent immigrants' viewpoint, is that we would rather be in a recession in sunny, warm, windy Wellington with an abundance of good food and plenty of professional jobs on offer, than in the UK.
