A recruitment agency's worried at the type of New Zealander packing their bags and moving overseas. 

Stats NZ says New Zealand saw a net migration loss of more than 52,000 citizens in the year ending March.  

People aged 18 to 30 accounted for 39% of the departures.  

Robert Walters Commercial Director Stuart Nash told Andrew Dickens that his concerns aren't about young people packing everything into a bag and heading one-way to London.  

He's worried about people who are mid-career, with families, who've settled here and have made the decision it's too hard and cross the Tasman.
