The Dunedin labour market was buoyant, Ministry of Social Development labour market adviser and job shop co-ordinator Deb Sutton said. The pop-up job shop started after the closure of Dunedin’s Cadbury chocolate factory in 2018 and the latest edition was held yesterday. An incorporated society, Employment and Careers South, had recently been set up to run the job shop.
