This follows the Doing Business 2013 report that stated New Zealand was the easiest place to start a business. Up from second place in the Forbes list last year, the magazine quoted the number one spot "…thanks to a transparent and stable business climate that encourages entrepreneurship. New Zealand is the smallest economy in our top 10 at $162 billion, but it ranks first in four of the 11 metrics we examined, including personal freedom and investor protection, as well as a lack of red tape and corruption." New Zealand GDP: $162 billion GDP per capita: $39,300 Public debt as % of GDP: 36% Source: Kea Bye-bye business A remarkable 61 per cent of Kiwis plan to leave their jobs in 2013, a survey by human resources company Randstad has found. The findings are in Randstad's latest World of Work report, which is based on an online survey carried out across the Asia Pacific region. However, the research found an increase in job insecurity among New Zealanders, with 27 per cent of those surveyed saying they felt less secure in their job than they did a year ago, compared to 21 per cent in 2011. Young workers were more confident, with 21 per cent of Generation Y workers surveyed feeling less secure than they did in 2011. Among mature workers, 40 per cent felt more vulnerable. Of those planning to leave their jobs next year, 40 per cent said an inability to grow professionally was a major influencing factor, while 16 per cent pointed to an uncompetitive salary, 8 per cent were not well matched to their job, and 8 per cent had a poor relationship with their direct manager. Broken recruitment promises were another key factor for considering a change in role or career. Source: Fairfax NZ News TOP TRENDING SEARCHES HOW TO 1. Screenshot 2. Love 3. Study 4.
