Skilled or Unskilled, you're all Welcome!

Australian Immigration Minister Chris Evans has suggested the country should welcome unskilled as well as skilled workers to meet its labour shortage.

It is seen that the agriculture and aged-care sectors would benefit from having unskilled people migrate to Australia with the idea that they would then go on to educate themselves in these areas so to solve the staff shortage.

"The question of whether or not temporary and unskilled foreign labour is needed to sustain our economy has been answered. Business will have to shut down in some cases unless we can get that labour," Senator for Immigration and Citizenship, Chris Evans said.
