Official statistics produced from the Linked Employer-Employee Data (LEED) measure labour market dynamics, providing an insight into the operation of New Zealand's labour market. Statistics New Zealand releases other official labour market statistics which show changes in employment at an aggregate level.Statistics from LEED, such as job and worker flows, help explain what causes these aggregate movements and are therefore useful for explaining changes in the labour market. LEED uses existing administrative data drawn from the taxation system, together with business data from Statistics NZ's Business Frame (BF). The LEED dataset is created by linking a longitudinal employer series from the BF to a longitudinal series of Employer Monthly Schedule (EMS) payroll data from Inland Revenue. LEED has the potential to improve the knowledge base for policy development in employment, business performance, productivity, firm creation and growth, employee turnover and many other areas.
