Australia's unemployment rate soars
According to statistics, Australia's unemployment rate fell to 3.5% in June, the lowest level in 40 years. Australia has the second worst labour shortage in the world, with as many as 480,000 vacancies waiting to be filled.
With Australia's long-term border closures following the outbreak, the number of people leaving Australia has far outstripped those entering Australia, resulting in a weakened economy for workers.
Although the government has tried every means, the labor shortage in Australia has not improved much from the end of last year to the present. Anyway, it has become more and more serious for various reasons.
At present, Australia's labor shortage crisis is intensifying, from all walks of life to state governments, calling on the federal government to speed up the introduction of skilled immigrants.

189 sign open the gate to release the water
The minimum invitation score is only 65 points
The 189-type visa is a one-step permanent residence visa. The applicant submits an immigration application based on his or her professional skills. This visa does not require nomination by the state government and sponsorship from relatives. It can be applied in Australia or outside Australia.
According to reports, Australia's 189 independent skilled immigration visa (Skilled Independent) is opening the floodgates.
Prior to this, the 189 visa had been prohibitive for many applicants, with a minimum invitation score of 80 points.
This year, more than 10,000 places were given, showing an increase of 156%.
At present, many 189 applicants have received the letter of signing from the Immigration Bureau, and the invitation score is very low, and the visa can be obtained with a score of 65. Under the immigration trend in recent years, it is unexpected. thing.
In the invitations issued this time, the invited occupations are mainly concentrated in nursing, social work, and teachers. Both domestic and overseas are invited, and the minimum invitation scores for the three major occupations are 65 points!
In addition, the 190 visas of all continents in Australia have also been greatly relaxed, and the quotas have increased.

Immigration quota is expected to increase to 200,000
The Australian government is considering increasing the immigration quota to 200,000 for the new fiscal year! Unions and employer groups will be heavily consulted at the Jobs and Skills Summit next month.
As planned, the Labor government wants to raise the immigration quota from a cap of 160,000 a year to 200,000 a year, which will bring in more migrants, including trade workers, IT specialists and aged care workers.
Treasurer Jim Chalmers said the 200,000 immigration target sounded reasonable because labour shortages were the "real handbrake" for the economy, largely affecting Australia's recovery.
It can be seen that immigrating to Australia in recent years will be a huge bonus period. The expansion of the quota and the lowering of the threshold mean that the chances of signing a contract are higher. Those who want to immigrate to Australia should seize the great opportunity!
