Definitions
Filled jobs: The number of full-time employees + part-time employees + working proprietors. A filled job in this survey is the total of all the employees at each business location. If an individual is employed at more than one location, then that person will be counted at each location. Filled jobs are a count of jobs, not people.
For more information
Limitations of the data
Compositional effects between industries can affect the Quarterly Employment Survey when industries with higher or lower earnings than the average total hourly earnings for all industries change in relative importance (eg make up a bigger share of the total hours).
Compositional changes within industries can affect the Quarterly Employment Survey, as the composition of the paid workforce is reflected (eg the occupations that firms hire).
Inclusions
Because this survey collects data from employers, jobs filled by overseas workers resident in New Zealand for less than 12 months are included. This is different from the Household Labour Force Survey.
This data includes full-time jobs, part-time jobs, and working proprietors.
Exclusions
The Quarterly Employment Survey does not include data from the agriculture, fisheries, and several smaller industries, or earnings from self-employment.
Changes to data collection/processing
This survey has been redesigned in 2020. Under the new sample design, the level of data collection has changed from business locations (GEOs) to kind-of-activity units (KAUs).
From March 2021, the Quarterly Employment Survey defines 'Filled jobs' as the sum of part-time and full-time employees.

About this dataset
The Quarterly Employment Survey data provides information about employment, earnings and hours paid at industry and national levels. Data is obtained from economically significant businesses for the reference period of the pay week ending on, or before the 20th of the middle month of the quarter. Use this dataset when wanting to measure the number of filled jobs from a business’s perspective, or when wanting to measure the number of hours businesses pay for.
Purpose of collection
The purpose of the Quarterly Employment Survey (QES) is to provide a short-term indicator of employment and earnings. In addition, the data is used for compiling the business services industry component of the quarterly national accounts (on the production side). Results from the survey provide a valuable guide to the labour market and general economic conditions within New Zealand.
Method of collection/Data provider
The Quarterly Employment Survey (QES) is a sample of approximately 18,000 business locations selected from the population of economically significant enterprises in surveyed industries.
