    WELLINGTON, April 21 (Reuters) - Job advertisements in New Zealand rose 2.9 percent in March from the previous month, a survey by ANZ Bank showed on Thursday.

    The data showed a second consecutive month of gains, suggesting demand for labour had recovered after job ads dipped in January.

    Total job advertising rose 1.7 percent on a year ago. "Job ads data in the early months of 2016 is consistent with our view of a cautious but still positive economy," ANZ senior economist Sharon Zollner said in a research note.
