* New Zealand�s largest newspaper, New Zealand Herald,
has taken up �the jobs challenge� as a major media
campaign.
The newspaper has produced a series of feature articles,
news stories and accompanying �Dialogue� contributions from
prominent New Zealanders ... discussing just what it will take
to achieve our employment goals within the global economy
of the millennium.

* Although 177,300 New Zealanders are still officially �jobless,� many companies can�t
find Kiwis w
ith the right skills. Projections by Berl economists for the Maori Employment and
Training Commissi
on suggest that the cou
ntry can generate between 200,000 and 327,000 new jobs by 2011 � provided New
Zealanders acquire th
e skills for the jobs.
Simon Collins reports on twelve key areas for growth.
