Skill shortages in 681 occupations are an embarrassing myth for Australia

Sustainable Population Australia

Australia must match skilled immigration visa allocations with actual job offers, says Sustainable Population Australia (SPA). No job – no visa.

An embarrassing, government skilled migration jobs list, hilariously includes jobs for which there are no noted vacancies, such as:

  • blacksmith,
  • acupuncturist,
  • actor,
  • singer and
  • archaeologist

and occupations that are arguably, low skill, like:

  • Boarding Kennel or Cattery Operator and
  • dog handler.
