It's been a big time for job cuts, with multiple roles being slashed over the past month.

Telecommunications giants like One NZ have also laid off hundreds of workers - and the closure of Sunfed and Kate Sylvester will mean more jobs are on the chopping block.

NZ Herald business editor at large Liam Dann says this won't be the last of it, as unemployment figures will be expected to reach 5 percent.
