Australia will be left scrambling to find carers, electricians and chefs as a nationwide skills shortage continues to manifest. MORE: 9News
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said today that the shortfall had not been sudden."That is one of the things that the jobs and skills summit is doing."
"We do understand how important it is and that is why my ministerial colleagues, Clare O'Neill and Andrew Giles, are working very hard, firstly to unclog the visa application process, so we can accelerate. This is in the area of acute skills shortage needs. We are looking at other requirements too. "Net overseas migration was positive for the first time since the onset of COVID. More than net 29,000 people arrived in the December 2021 quarter, although that only unwinds around 26 per cent of the net 113,000 people lost to overseas migration over the previous 18 months," report lead author David Rumbens said.
