Comments The raw data does not exist in any form we can find however the information is most likely available in the National Library or Alexander Turnbull library in the published journal series "Labour and Employment Gazette" and specifically in "Supplementary Tables to the Labour and Employment Gazette" https://tepuna.on.worldcat.org/search?databaseList=3928%2C283%2C3930&queryString=%22labour+and+employment+gazette%22#/oclc/2903428 https://tepuna.on.worldcat.org/search?databaseList=3928%2C283%2C3930&queryString=%22labour+and+employment+gazette%22#/oclc/173334097
