A recruitment specialist says we've likely lost a number of our already small pool of skilled workers. 

More than 130,000 people moved out of the country in the year to April, the highest on record according to Stats NZ figures.

A record 81,200 New Zealand citizens made up the majority of the leavers.

Talent ID Director Kellie Hamlett told Mike Hosking that these departures won't be helping our skills issue. 

She says it comes down to the fact there's more demand for skills than we have skill to fill.
