Migrant Situation Gone Too Far Down
Under
Australian Information Technology (IT) workers are becoming the latest
bill payers for excessive migrant labor in their field. Even newly arriving
migrants are having difficulty finding IT jobs.
Jewel Topsfield’s article describes the latest frustration being experienced
by IT workers down under. Highlights of Migrants
Blamed for IT Jobs Cut are:
"Bob Kinnaird, of labour market consultants
Kinnaird and Associates, said the Federal Government had brought in large numbers
of IT workers over the past four years, even though there was a serious oversupply
in the Australian labour market, particularly of graduates. He said the skilled
migration program had effectively increased the IT graduate labour supply by
nearly 80 per cent in recent years. During this time, 30 per cent of Australian
IT graduates could not find full-time work.
The policy had been a 'miserable failure', Mr Kinnaird said, leading to an oversupply
of entry-level programmers, high graduate unemployment and lower wages"
Is Australia’s migrant situation another precursor to the spreading
pandemic of globalism? The article contains no mention of the impact of offshoring
to Bangalore, India and how that is factored into the overall situation.
