Kiwi youths 'turn Generation Oz'

By: AAP | New Zealand News | Sunday October 7 2012 14:16

 

Young Kiwis are heading to Australia in droves because they can't get a job at home according to New Zealand's opposition.

Labour finance spokesman David Parker says a correlation between youth unemployment and migration figures in the year to June shows thousands of young Kiwis are leaving because of the failed job market, not the lure of the lucky country as claimed by the government.

He says every time a job is lost in New Zealand a boarding pass is printed at the airport and this is direct evidence the government is turning Generation Y into Generation OZ.
