Nō reira he aha ngā rāngai i pā kino rawa, a, e hia ngā tūranga mahi kua ngaro?

So what sectors have been hit the hardest and how many jobs have been lost?

Rāngai tūmatanui/Public sector

Ehara i te mea huna i tūkinotia te rāngai tūmatanui e ngā hinganga mahi i tēnei tau me te whāinga a te Kāwanatanga hou ki te tapahi i te whakapau moni puta noa i te rāngai.

It’s no secret the public sector had been rocked by job losses this year with the new Government’s goal to cut spending across the sector.

I te mutunga o tērā tau e matapae ana a David Seymour ka tae atu ki te 7500 ngā tūranga mahi i te rāngai tūmatanui kia poroa, engari kua piki kē atu tēnei tau, ā, e tata ana ki te 8000 ngā tāngata e ngaro ana i a rātou ā rātou mahi puta noa i te maha o ngā manatū.

Late last year David Seymour estimated up to 7500 jobs could be gone in the public sector, but this number had already been surpassed, with nearly 8000 people losing their jobs across a number of ministries.

I kawatau kia pā taumaha rawa ki te Manatu Whakahiato Ora te nuinga o ngā hinganga mahi i te 941, i mua i te Te Tāhuhu o te Mātauranga i te 755 me te Tari Taiwhenua i te 672.

The Ministry for Social Development was expected to experienced the largest number of job losses at 941, followed by the Ministry of Education at 755 and the Department of Internal Affairs at 672.

Ā mohoa noa hei ka toa ai Te Pūkenga Here Tikanga Mahi i tana whawhai ture ki te whakatū i tētahi whakahounga i Te Tāhuhu o te Mātauranga e kī ana kua takahi i ngā kirimana mahi a ngā kaimahi.

So far the the Public Service Association had won its legal fight to halt a Ministry of Education restructure arguing it breached the workers’ employment contracts.

Ko ngā mira/Mills

Nā te pikinga o ngā utu hiko i pēhi ngā mira puta noa i te whenua.

Rising electricity costs had put pressure on mills across the country.

Neke atu i te 200 ngā kaimahi i mahue kāore he mahi i te takiwā o Te Pito o te Ika a Māui i te katinga o te Winstone Pulp International i ōna mira e rua e tata ana ki Ohakune i te Hepetema.

More than 200 workers were left without a job in the middle of the North Island as the Winstone Pulp International closed its two mills near Ohakune in September.

Winstone Pulp International closed its two mills making all 230 workers redundant.

I katia hoki e Oji Fibre Solutions tana wheketere tukurua pepa Penrose i te Hepetema, e 75 ngā tāngata i poroa.

Oji Fibre Solutions also closed its Penrose paper recycling plant in September which put 75 people out of work.

Heoi anō i te Wenerei ka karangatia ngā kaimahi i te mira puru me te pepa Kinleith e tata ana ki Tokoroa ki tētahi hui me te mataku tae atu ki te 230 tāngata ka ngaro ā rātou mahi.

Meanwhile on Wednesday workers at the Kinleith pulp and paper plant near Tokoroa had been called to a meeting with fears up to 230 people would lose their jobs.

Hauora/Health

Neke atu i te 400 ngā utu whakamutu mahi i whakaaetia e Te Whatu Ora i tērā marama.

Health NZ had accepted more than 400 redundancies last month.

I te mutunga o Akuhata, ka tukuna e Te Whatu Ora te kōwhiringa tuao o te utu whakamutu mahi ki ētahi kaimahi i roto i te wāhanga whakahaere hauora, te tohutohu me ngā tūnga mātauranga.

In late August, Health NZ offered the option of voluntary redundancy to some staff in health administration, advisory and knowledge roles.

I puta mai i muri i tā te Minita Hauora a Tākuta Shane Reti pana i te poari katoa o Te Whatu Ora, i muri i ngā pūrongo i kīia kua whakamaumau neke atu i te $130 miriona i ia te marama.

Health Commissioner Lester Levy warned of huge job cuts in the health sector.

It came after Health Minister Dr Shane Reti sacked the Health NZ board following reports it had been overspending by about $130 million a month.

I whakatūria e te kāwanatanga te kaikomihana a Lester Levy ki te umanga ki te whakatika i te take me te aha e whakatūpato ana a ia i ngā rangi noa i muri mai e mōrearea ana tae atu ki te 3000 o ngā tūnga.

The government appointed commissioner Lester Levy to the organisation to address the issue with him warning just days into the role that up to 3000 could be on the line.

I tonoa hoki e rātou he tapahi anō ki te rāngai puta noa i ngā tīma i ngā ratonga hōhipera me ngā ratonga motuhake.

It had also proposed further cuts to the sector across teams in hospital and speciality services.

I te Akuhata, e 126 ngā tūnga i roto i te tīma whakarite a Te Whatu Ora i poroa, ā, e 142 ngā tūnga wātea i mahue, me te nuinga katoa o ngā tūranga i whakatūria e noho ana i te 268.

In August, 126 roles in Te Whatu Ora's commissioning team were disestablished and 142 vacant roles were left unfilled, with the total number of roles disestablished sitting at 268.

Pāpāho/Media

Ko ngā hinganga mahi tino mōhio i te rāngai pāpāho i tēnei tau ko te katinga katoa o Newshub i mua i te tikinga ake e Puna, ā, ka panonihia hei ThreeNews.

Newshub's 6pm bulletin, its website as well as the AM show will end later in the year.

The most notable job losses in the media sector this year was the complete closure of Newshub before it was picked up by Stuff and transformed into ThreeNews.

I te Āperira ka tauākītia e Warner Bros Discovery NZ ka katia āna mahi Newshub katoa, tae atu ki te kawerongo 6pm, te paetukutuku, me te AM Show, nāna i hua ai ngā tāngata e 350 i ngaro ai ā rātou mahi.

In April Warner Bros Discovery NZ announced it would close all its Newshub operations, including the 6pm bulletin, website, and the AM Show, which resulted in up to 350 people losing their jobs.

I roto tonu te kaipāpāho ā-motu Te Reo Tātaki i ngā whakaritenga o tētahi whakahounga me tē tono kia poro i ngā tūnga e 90, ā, ka waihanga i ngā tūnga hōu e 41, ā, ka puta mai ngā hinganga mahi e 50 puta noa i te kamupene hei wāhanga o tētahi whakahounga hei tiaki i te $30 miriona.

State-owned broadcaster TVNZ was still in the throes of a restructure with a proposal to disestablish 90 roles and create 41 new roles which would result in 50 job losses across the company as part of a restructure to save $30 million.

TVNZ was currently going through a restructure in an attempt to save $30 million.

Ko te tikanga hoki kia whakakāhore i ngā tūnga a ētahi o ngā rangatira rongokōrero, a, ka whakahekea pea tōna māhunga rongo.

It also intended to disestablish the jobs of several news bosses and potentially demote its head of news.

I te ihu o te tau ka poroa e rātou te hōtaka o ngā take o te wā a Rātapu, te hōtaka kiritaki Fair Go, a, ka whakatū i ōna kawerongo o te poupoutanga o te rā me te pō.

Earlier in the year it axed current affairs programme Sunday, consumer programme Fair Go, and stopped its midday and late-night news bulletins.

I tauākītia e NZME i tērā wiki e marohi ana kia kati i ngā pepa hapori e 14 i Te Ika a Māui, ā, ka ngaro ngā tūnga e 30, i te wā i te Tūrei e pānui ana ko te maheni take o te wā a North & South ka whakatū taupua tana tā ā-pepa i a ia e whai ana ki te whakanui i tāna noho tuihono.

NZME announced last week it was proposing to close 14 long-standing community papers in the North Island, which would result in the loss of about 30 roles, while on Tuesday current affairs magazine North & South announced it would temporarily cease publication as it aimed to build and online presence.
