Murray Edridge: City Missioner says the cost of living continues to bite, even though more people are working

Claims the cost of living continues to bite, even though more people are working. Ministry of Social Development data shows almost 25,000 fewer people are receiving the Jobseeker benefit, comparing June 2022 to June 2020. There were more than 100,000 exits into work in the year to June. But Wellington City Missioner Murray Edridge told Kate Hawkesby leaving Jobseeker doesn't equate to financial security.
