Yes, because record low unemployment is a sign of benefit dependency.
I've been in and out of work for the past decade regardless of who is elected, so it's definitely not a Labour Party problem. I'm stuck working shit distribution centre and warehousing jobs that I hate. I can never meet the required KPI so I get the hint and I resign. Having monthly performance reviews for a blue collar job is infuriating. I'm finally trying to exit the mess and re-train.
I would like to get CELTA at some point and just leave NZ for several years. Nothing will get better here. In school I wanted to study c++ programming but they just taught Microsoft Visual Basic, which is like, putting a button on the screen and clicking it, to make it say "the button is clicked". Imagine where I'd be today if we didn't have a third world education system and hopeless career advisors, which btw will exist under both National and Labour. I wish the Chinese would fire a missile and turn the Beehive into a crater.
