Immigration, Population Growth, Employment Growth
Wake-up to the opportunities in population growth. Globalisation has
changed many things, but the idea of a country's geography shaping its mentality still holds water. In island-Australia's case, surrounding oceans create a sense of distance from the rest of the world. When it comes to immigration and population growth, the oceans can seem like white picket fences, protecting suburban masses from forces threatening the predictable, hassle-free ''Australian way of life''. http://www.theage.com.au/opinion/pol...1210-km54.html AN EXTRAORDINARY surge in hiring has created 100,000 jobs in three months, more than half of them in Victoria, pushing Australia's unemployment rate down well below 6 per cent and raising the prospect that unemployment has peaked. Australia's new unemployment rate of 5.7 per cent contrasts with 6.5 per cent in New Zealand, 7.8 per cent in Britain, 10 per cent in the US and 19.3 per cent in Spain. http://www.theage.com.au/national/hu...1210-km98.html IMMIGRANTS used to be seen as a threat to local jobseekers. But Australia's new migration stimulus is maintaining the economy's growth momentum and keeping a firm lid on unemployment. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news...-1225809230086 THE fastest jobs growth in three years has signalled the peak in unemployment and sparked concerns among chief executives that Australia will again be facing acute labour shortages with competition from government stimulus spending. The jobless rate fell to 5.7 per cent in November while 100,000 new jobs, most of them full-time, had been generated in the past three months. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news...-1225809225631 |
