I worked at Eagle Boys Pizza in high school. Many of the delivery drivers were Indians. With degrees - vets, lawyers, accountants, etc. Their stories of giving up such jobs to deliver pizza so their children could flourish was...
... heartbreaking, inspiring, and true of so many Kiwi immigrants.
The #wia1report highlights the high education levels, hard working nature, and massive contribution of one of those communities.
Well done @nzindmgt and team.
Looking forward to the full launch later today.
#WIA1Report Launch.
Mazel tov, @nzindmgt and team.
Highly educated and hard workers - these facts stand out clearly.

The 250k Indian community contributes $10b to the NZ economy! That's 10x more than a decade ago, with only a tripled pipulation.
And @SEaqub thinks it can be higher.
There's also, of course, the non-financial benefits.
