Recently I had the chance to hear about the demand for skills from Dr Ganesh Nana, the Chief Economist for BERL. He forecasted growth by industry using smiley faces.

The big winner – with five smiley faces:

• Building and construction in particular in Auckland and Christchurch
• The future of the NZ economy for the next decade will lie in this sector

Three smiley faces to Forestry – due to climbing exports

Two smiley faces to

• Agriculture – meat, wine and dairy exports are all climbing

One smiley face

• Mining, oil and gas

• And education and health.
