Dzisiaj minister imigracji Chris Evans oglosi 14% redukcje puli
zawodowych wiz rezydenckich (General Skilled Migration) na rok
finansowy 2009-2010. Jest to pierwsza redukcja od ponad dziesieciu
lat. Zmniejszono takze liste zawodow poszukiwanych - glownie o prace
w sektorze budowlanym. Celem tych dzialan jest ochrona
australijskiego rynku pracy - ograniczenie wzrostu bezrobocia.
"THE record immigration intake will be cut for the first time in
more than a decade as the Government tries to preserve jobs in a
deteriorating global economy.
The Immigration Minister, Chris Evans, will announce a 14 per cent
cut to the skilled migration program today, capping the number of
workers to enter Australia next year at 115,000, down from 133,500
in 2008-09.
Skilled workers make up the majority of migrants.
The decision to cut back on foreign workers comes as pressure mounts
on the Government after last week's jump in unemployment to 5.2 per
cent.
"The economic circumstances in Australia have changed as a result of
the global financial crisis," Senator Evans said. "It is prudent to
reduce this year's migration intake accordingly."
The cuts will be coupled with deletions to the critical skills list,
which specifies which jobs are open to migrants. Trades in building
and manufacturing will be removed, forcing companies to find
bricklayers, plumbers, welders and carpenters domestically.
Professions still experiencing skills shortages will be immune, such
as nurses, doctors, engineers and information technology workers."
