Don't rely on the CNN piece, they have paraphrased the bugger out of the original report. [ http://www.doingbusiness.org ]

For instance there there significant differences between the US and NZ on labour issues, within the report US is rated 1, NZ - 14.

Whereas CNN says:

"As in the U.S. and Hong Kong, hiring and firing is relatively easy to do in New Zealand, with no mandated penalties, notice or severance payments for fired workers"
