Job ads have fallen for the first time this year.

SEEK NZ's Employment Report for April shows the number of job ads have dropped one percent month on month, and are 16 percent lower than the previous year.

The national decline was driven by Auckland and Canterbury.

Country Manager Rob Clark says despite the drop there's plenty of demand for workers.

He says comparisons to last year were bound to be stark as April 2022 was near the peak of the Great Job Boom.
