Kia ora Jak,
Thank you for contacting StatsNZ.
Whilst we do not have information on the causes of unemployment, we do have various statistics on unemployment. Our most recent information release can be found here: https://www.stats.govt.nz/information-releases/labour-market-statistics-june-2023-quarter/.
Alongside this June 2023 Quarter release, a one-off news article was also published on the current unemployment rate which may be of use for you: https://www.stats.govt.nz/news/unemployment-rate-at-3-6-percent/.
If you are wanting a time-series unemployment, you can create your own time-series of unemployment by following this link here: http://infoshare.stats.govt.nz/, going down to 'Work Income and Spending', and I suggest you look at either the tables from 'Employment Indicators' or 'Household Labour Force Survey'.
I hope this helps, and please email (info@stats.govt.nz) if you have any further questions :)
