Notes and caveats about this data
IDI/LBD disclaimer
• Access to some of the data used in this data file was provided by Stats NZ under conditions designed to give effect to the security and confidentiality provisions of the Data and Statistics Act 2022. The results presented in this data file are the work of the author(s), not Stats NZ or individual data suppliers. These results are not official statistics. They have been created for research purposes from the Integrated Data Infrastructure (IDI) and Longitudinal Business Database (LBD) which are carefully managed by Stats NZ.
• Some of the data used in this data file is based in part on tax data supplied by Inland Revenue to Stats NZ under the Tax Administration Act 1994 for statistical purposes. Any discussion of data limitations or weaknesses is in the context of using the IDI for statistical purposes, and is not related to the data’s ability to support Inland Revenue core operational requirements.

Other information
• This data file was produced to support Ringa Hora’s engagement with the Real Estate and Property Management sector at a specific point of time and will not be regularly updated.
• Worker counts presented here are based off data from the IDI (unless otherwise specified). Data linking in the IDI is generally probabilistic, meaning that some records may be incorrectly matched, or not matched at all. This means that counts presented here may differ slightly from other reported counts due to individuals not being included due to very small amounts of matching error.
• Worker counts are counts of all workers recorded working in that industry (based on the businesses they are attached to) and earning either wages, salary, or self-employment income at any point during that calendar year (unless explicitly stated). For employees of a business, they must also meet tenure and income thresholds. This approach can result in different counts of workers than using StatsNZ “as at end February” counts, counts used by other organisations, or counts used by Ringa Hora in other publications.
• Worker counts do not include business owners who do not pay themselves wages, salary or self-employment income from their business. This can happen when a business owner for example pays themselves in company dividends or shares.
• All numbers have had graduated random rounding applied, as per StatsNZ protocols. This means that numbers may not sum to the total number of workers neatly.
• Worker counts across industries in these tables cannot be added together to create combined industry totals, as it is possible that a worker may have worked in multiple industries across the year and therefore can be double counted in the data.
• Workers where their age, gender, or ethnicity are not known are not counted in their respective counts, and not used in the calculation of percentages.
• Workers with another gender are not included in these tables due to small counts.
• The employment type indicator uses the following prioritisation hierarchy: Employer, Self-employed, Employee. Workers within an industry are only counted once during the given year, and coded to the highest “employment level” based on the composition and source of their income (for example, a worker with self-employment earnings in addition to wages/salary income earnt as an employee would be coded as “self-employed”, even if their self-employment earnings only make up a small proportion of their total employment income).
• Industry tenure measures the amount of cumulative time (in months) an individual has worked in a specific ANZSIC Level 4 industry, and is based on income records for the year (someone is counted as working in that industry for a given month if they are paid wages or salary during that month, or had self-employed income for that year). Months where an individual earning wages or salary takes unpaid leave for the entire month (and receives no payments in that month) are not cumulatively added to the measure.
• Job tenure measures the amount of time (in months) an individual has worked with a specific employer in a specific ANZSIC Level 4 industry, and is based on income records for the year (see definition for industry tenure above). This measure is only available for employees with wage or salary income.
• Specific notes and caveats about the region by ethnicity data are included in the relevant tabs of data
• Enrolment counts are rounded by base five, and represent the number of “events” as opposed to the number of individuals. It can be possible for an individual to undertaken multiple qualifications or programmes in a given year.
• The number of enrolments by ethnic group will not add up to the number of enrolments. This is because ethnic group counts are based on distinct individual learners, while enrolment counts are based on the number of enrolment “events”.
