Well, this survey covers mental health workers, corrections officers, home support workers, people who work in local government, whole range of policy specialists, all sorts of public service and community workers all over New Zealand. So it's quite telling findings that we are seeing one in four considering going overseas. But also particularly damning is that 49% of those under 25 are considering leaving New Zealand.
