    Some signs of a turn-around, in at least parts of the economy

    Some signs of a turn-around, in at least parts of the economy


    Stats NZ is reporting a monthly increase in jobs numbers in November -- the first in eight months.

    Economists still expect unemployment to surpass five-percent this year, with the country still in a technical recession.

    But Westpac Senior Economist Michael Gordon says job numbers appear to be increasing in health and education.

    He says there was a notable pick up in the arts and recreation services, most likely due to tourism.
