Hot of the press are Mercer's new Quality of Living and Cost of Living indicies for 2008.
Auckland comes in really well at number 5 in the Quality of Living stakes. Other Asia-Pacific cities did well with Sydney at 10th, Wellington at 12th and Melbourne, Perth and Adelaid at 17th place.
From the press release:
New Zealand cities have continued to lead worldwide quality of living standards, making them attractive destinations for overseas expatriates, Mercer’s 2008 Worldwide Quality of Living Index has found.
Both major New Zealand cities surveyed, Auckland and Wellington, rank among the world’s top 15 cities for overall quality of living and dominate the rankings within the Asia Pacific region.
Mercer’s head of information product solutions, Mr Rob Knox, said the results were great news for New Zealand employers trying to attract overseas workers to help ease pressure on possibly the worst skills shortage New Zealand has ever seen.
