Kia Ora,
The Ministry of Social Development (MSD) is removing the job seeker undersupply list with effect from 22 November 2021. As previously announced, the oversupply list was removed effective from 1 October 2021.
These lists were introduced in October 2020 as a temporary response to COVID-19, to streamline MSD’s advice to Immigration New Zealand (INZ) on the availability of New Zealand job seekers for vacancies.
This formed part of the assessment of the Labour Market Test (LMT) for jobs paying below the median wage for Essential Skills work visa applications.
Occupations that appeared on the oversupply list showed that there were New Zealand jobseekers available for that role. Occupations on the undersupply list showed that there were no New Zealand jobseekers available. |
