Printing, Publishing, and Allied Industries

Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Dunedin account for nearly three-quarters of the 12,100 workers. Relative to population, the number employed in Wellington is very high, owing to the presence there of Parliament and Government Departments (including the Government Printing Office), and of the head offices of many private firms.
