Don't you just love the irony?

Constant problem here in Australia. The companies cry that they can find no skilled workers which is a pure lie. Personally, I used to apply for positions that I was qualified for and receive no reply but the position continued to be advertised. Then the companies started adding, 457 visa applicants, (skilled immigrant )encouraged to apply.
I wrote to one of these companies saying that I am reporting them to the watchdog and the State Government for discrimination.
I got a response from the Government but not the company.
There were close to 300 jobs on the 457 visa list. The State Government slashed that figure to 25.
They would rather employ visa people because it is cheaper. No need to pay holiday pay, sick leave. Could fire them on the spot.

I agree. It's one thing to have a basic skill, welding, machining, nursing, mechanics...it's something else to find an employer that will seek your full potential.

Say you're going to go out of business if you do that...sucks to be you.

It's a lie to get more H1B visas to keep wages low by importing cheap labor.
