Australian labor export

As we all know, Australia is a big immigrant country. Next, the Overseas Migration Network will tell you about the export of labor services in Australia.

The Australian newspaper reported that official data showed that in the first nine months of this fiscal year, although 67,000 Australian skilled workers and construction workers were looking for jobs, employers introduced 10,210 foreign workers with 457 work visas. In addition, although 83,700 Australians are unemployed, employers have recruited 65,438+09,260 professional workers overseas. Although 40,200 Australian managers are waiting in line to receive unemployment benefits, 8 150 managers have obtained 457 visas to come to Australia.

Trade unions demand stricter control over migrant workers because employers insist that foreigners only do jobs that Australians "don't want to do or can't do".

Professionals Australia asked the Albert government to delete engineering jobs from the list of skilled jobs of immigrant labor force, because this job has lost 7,000 jobs last year. Dave Oliver, secretary of the Australian Trade Union Council, said that it is difficult for nursing graduates, carpenters, chefs, engineers, assemblers and mechanics in Australia to find jobs, but employers are using immigrant labor.

"We need foreign workers, especially permanent immigrants, but the most widely used areas of 457 visas are also areas where Australians want to work." Oliver said.

Oliver said that trade unions have found "serious abuse" of migrant workers, and some employers regard them as cheap "debt-paying workers".

The Fair Work Commissioner reported 65,438+065,438+0 employers who exploited immigrants this year, including a restaurant in Bo Du, NSW, which underpaid a China chef by 65,438+089,255 yuan and an IT company in Brisbane underpaid a young China worker by 65,438+00,000 yuan.

Jeff Bradtke, managing director of Workforce Solutions, a contract worker recruitment company, said that after the global financial crisis, the demand for migrant labor began to increase. He said: "Australia not only lacks skills, but also lacks people who are willing to work."
