Occupations Dashboard

Using Stats NZ census data, the occupational dashboard allows you to see the range of occupations that make up our food and fibre industries and explore over 90 occupations that specifically relate to our industries.

Navigate around the dashboard by clicking the labelled buttons. All the charts are interactive with filters to select options for greater focus on specific occupations or industries. 

Industries

In the ‘Industries’ section of the dashboard we show the most common occupations found within each of our food and fibre industries. This provides greater insights into the composition of each industry’s workforce. You can see that our industries are comprised of a wide range of occupations, including industry-specific occupations, such as Dairy Cattle Farmer and Dairy Cattle Farm Worker, as well as occupations that support our industries, such as Office Manager. You can also see some occupations that do not directly relate to our industries.  This happens when there is a mismatch between a person’s self-reported occupation and their stated employer on their census form.

Occupations

In the ‘Occupations’ section of the dashboard, you can find information on the demographics, employment, and highest qualifications for workers in 96 occupations relevant to the food and fibre sector. We also show how each of these occupations are distributed across, and outside, our food and fibre industries. The 96 occupations in this dashboard are not a complete list of all occupations in our industries, but we plan to include additional occupations in the future.
