Regional Economic Workforce Explorer
The Regional Economic Workforce Explorer tool has been developed using data from the GDP and Occupation Forecast tool, Stats NZ and the Integrated Data Infrastructure to provide an accessible, data-driven view of key economic and workforce trends in Aotearoa New Zealand, tailored to both specific food and fibre industries and regions.
Through intuitive visualisations, users can explore a variety of data, including economic performance, workforce trends, and demographic breakdowns.
The dashboard is divided into three main components: industry insights, regional insights, and combined industry-region insights.
Key features include:
- Industry Insights: Offers a comprehensive view of the industry’s workforce dynamics by presenting economic performance, workforce trends over time and workforce characteristics.
- Regional Insights: Provides a clear picture of economic activity at the local level by presenting population projects, labour force statistics, key industries and regional GDP.
- Industry-Region Insights: Dive deeper into the intersection of regional and industry data through detailed workforce size, gender distribution and Māori representation within specific industries in the chosen region.
A unique feature is the regional view of an industry’s workforce and GDP trends.
While we had information about regional workforce trends and GDP trends, this is the first time we have offered a view of the data which shows these trends side by side. This allows better understanding of the relationship between the workforce size and GDP growth by region.
