Dunedin is experiencing the biggest boom in job growth in a decade and that trend is set to continue. Economic data for the whole of 2016 indicated job growth would continue despite planned cuts to Dunedin's manufacturing and education sectors, he said. The numbers in this week's quarterly economic monitor gave a ''preview'' into the projected job growth expected in Dunedin for the current year, Mr Patterson said. At the heart of the city's growth is a construction boom with large projects by the university already under way and more in the pipeline. ''We have had some quite high-profile closures of some organisations, but the long-term growth pattern is of increasing job numbers.''
