49782 (2024). Ingrid Leary to the Minister for Social Development and Employment: Does the Minister agree with Radio New Zealand Money Correspondent Susan Edmunds that the unemployment rate for people aged 55 and over increased from 1.9 percent in June last year, to 2.8 percent in the most recent data, and, what, if anything, is she doing to address this?

Hon Louise Upston: Our Government is focused on lifting families out of hardship and providing more opportunities for New Zealanders to get ahead by supporting all who can work into jobs.
