Liam Dann: NZ Herald business editor at large on the 'sobering' wave of job cuts in the last month - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

It's been a big time for job cuts, with multiple roles being slashed over the past month.

The public service has posted several high-profile job cuts, and over 300 media roles disappeared following the TVNZ and Newshub culls.

Telecommunications giants like One NZ have also laid off hundreds of workers - and the closure of Sunfed and Kate Sylvester will mean more jobs are on the chopping block.

NZ Herald business editor at large Liam Dann says this won't be the last of it, as unemployment figures will be expected to reach 5 percent.
