²¹ Although income data is collected for all sources, not just the main job of the individual and therefore cannot necessarily be attributed to the industry they working in. For example, some entrepreneurs may get some of their income from investments rather than the industry in which they are working. In other words, part of a person’s income may not necessarily come from their industry of employment, but maybe sourced from somewhere else.

²² Note: Due to Statistics New Zealand’s confidentiality provisions we do not have 2001 data for the following three industries: Mining; Electricity, Gas and Water supply; and Government Administration and Defence.

²³ Median income is the amount where half earn more, and half earn less than this amount, rounded to the nearest $100.
