New Zealand’s unemployment rate is already at an uncomfortable level, and may be heading higher again.Young people and jobseekers in Auckland, Wellington and the Bay of Plenty are facing an especially tough market, leaving many wondering why the recovery is taking.

They also chat about how global conflict and rising oil prices could continue to impact inflation and mortgage, and they ask the question: could Australia’s approach to taxing beer offer a lifeline for NZ’s struggling pubs, bars and city centres?
