Secondly; no major lob loss? Are you not following the media? Early indication was that unemployment would jump from 5% to 7% - now 11% or higher.
Just to clarify i was referring to jobs in Nz every one that had a job gets paid $585 for 12 weeks paid by govt, these jobs are still there just on hold, and yes i imagine there will be companys here that don't make it so some jobs will be lost, but we don't have massive centrelink lines like Oz. Footnote i haven't yet heard of any one being laid off amongst my friends family bar the Govt lockdown period.
