So here it is - a factual expose of the truth around those "skill shortages". Or at least the imaginary ones that are used as an argument to bring in more skilled migrants.
"Yet far too many – at least 40% based on the Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants to Australia – fail to get work in their professional field within the first six months".
"The more recent Continuous Survey of Australian Migrants indicates that 22% of skilled migrants are unemployed or under-employed after the first six months".
"Of more than 90 respondents, all with university degrees and relevant experience in their home country, only 18% are in appropriate employment".
So this just confirms what many of us already knew - the whole "skill shortages" charade is a scam - that has been engineered to put pressure on existing workers, to keep them under the thumb and to put downward pressure on wages and conditions.
Who said WorkChoices was dead?
