These statistics fully show that a large number of employment opportunities can be provided to citizens and international workers.

employment opportunities

Australia has not been labeled as a land of opportunity. The national unemployment rate is very low. Many industries are still in short supply (such as accounting, agriculture, child care, construction, engineering, food and so on). ), which makes the international demand for skilled workers more urgent.

Besides, our prosperous economic growth (see the first point) means that many enterprises can develop faster. Create more employment opportunities for local and international skilled workers.

Decent wages

The average salary of full-time employees in Australia is about $82,436. The average salary varies from state to state: the national average salary of employees in the Australian Capital Territory (Act) is 94,224 Australian dollars, while the average salary in Tasmania is 7 1.7 18 Australian dollars.

Government+politics

Although this seems to be a strange list of topics, Australia's electoral system is mandatory for all eligible citizens and is based on priority; Therefore, everyone must vote and be told, because we must rank every candidate, not just pick a favorite politician. As an economist said in a recent article, this preferential voting system "had an impact".

Australia's political structure is superior to other countries, because candidates do not need to "cater to voters' prejudice".

medical care

Medicare is Australia's health care system, which is known as one of the world's health care systems. Medical insurance covers most basic hospitalization and medical expenses; It makes medical services affordable for most Australians.

When medical insurance cannot be insured, you can choose private care, which is usually very cheap.
