WHY ARE 56,000 MAORI CLAIMING JOBSEEKER BENEFIT WHEN ONLY 27,000 ARE UNEMPLOYED?
Jacinda Ardern went to Ratana and told Maori she was working for their collective people and that the unemployment rate was dropping. Officially the latter is true.
But that's only half of the story.
You would expect the number of unemployed to be slightly higher than on Jobseeker - some people will be neither inclined to seek nor qualify for a Jobseeker benefit. This is the case for NZ Europeans.
But there is a large mismatch between 27,500 Maori unemployed and over 56,581 on Jobseeker benefit......
