In this episode, we discuss the impending closure of Tiwait Point, the aluminium smelter based in Invercargill. The closure of the smelter could see as many as 2,600 jobs go in the Southland economy.
Based on the stats we're looking at, this could mean some Southlander's choosing to leave the region in search of work elsewhere.
We also go through other small towns which we recommend staying away from due to the economic risk of having the economy too concentrated on one industry.
Finally, we discuss our upcoming Live Podcast Tour, which is happening mid-September in: Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland. Click on the links to register for your free ticket.
