New Zealand has huge requirement for overseas workers in diverse skill shortage sectors. It is a nation that was relatively less affected by the global fiscal crisis. This is in comparison with various other nations. Thus the Job Sector in New Zealand looks promising.

Skills that are in chronic shortage are listed by the Immigration New Zealand. There is also a separate list of skill shortages needed to rebuild the region in Canterbury. This is after the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes that occurred here.

 

Overseas immigrants must aspire to obtain a job in New Zealand which is on the list of skill shortages. This is because it will be much easier to obtain the New Zealand Work and Residence Visa.
