Are you worried about losing your job?
About one in 14 workers say they expect to lose their job or business by mid-2021, according to Stats NZ.
A survey of employed people in the June 2020 quarter showed seven percent felt there was a high or almost certain chance of losing their job or business within the next 12 months. At a national level this represented 185,000 workers. A further 18 percent (468,000) felt there was a medium chance, while 4 percent (105,000) stated they did not know what their job security was going to be over the following year.
Most people surveyed said there was little or no chance of losing their job or business (71 percent or 1,859,000).
