Several organisations have announced significant job cuts- yet the labour shortage is still alive and well. 

Warehouse, Xero, Sky TV, MediaWorks and Auckland Council are among several companies who have confirmed job cuts. Despite this, 90 percent of employers still struggle to find staff.

NZ Herald business editor Liam Dann says there's a definite mismatch in the industries cutting staff and industries struggling to fill gaps. 

Liam Dann explained that companies are seeking to cut staff in white-collar roles, while the hospitality, construction and retail sectors are having difficulties finding workers.
