Local Employment
Employment prospects are excellent in the hospitality industry; the range here is very diverse - from the casino in the Skytower, the tallest free-standing structure in the Southern Hemisphere at 328m, to the array of major international hotels. The city is the economic capital of the nation and Queen Street and the Viaduct Basin in the Auckland CBD offer a tantalising mix of cuisines, a legacy of the city’s two America’s Cup challenges. Auckland's status as the largest commercial centre in the country is reflected in the high median personal income, with jobs in the Auckland CBD often earning more than anywhere else in the country. Throughout the entire Auckland area, from the North Shore to Great Barrier Island, hospitality is available everywhere, from exclusive dining through to roadside cafes. High Street, Queen Street, Ponsonby Road, and Karangahape Road, in particular, are very popular with urban socialites. Newmarket and Parnell are up-market shopping areas, while Otara and Avondale flea markets offer a colourful alternative shopping experience. Newer shopping malls tend to be outside city centres, with Sylvia Park (Auckland City), Botany Town Centre (Howick, Manukau City) and Westfield Albany (Albany, North Shore City) being the three largest.
