Please stop saying that we need to increase teacher salaries in order “recruit the best and brightest” as if the best and brightest are not currently teaching. We need to increase teacher salaries because those currently teaching deserve and earned it.

You might be shocked to discover that employer groups really hate seeing this graph

A decade of wage growth has now been wiped out. Real wages have not been this low since Dec 2011. Business as usual will not turn this around. We need serious reform to our wages system

Corporate Profits in Australia reached an all-time high in the second quarter of 2021 The forecast is for real wages to go backwards until 2024 Why do we just accept that?

Todays graph from ABS national accounts: Productivity growth does not automatically make wages rise.

High immigration equals lower living standards for existing populace. Not so for big corporates.

The irony of western markets are that they argue endlessly about efficient market driven by capitalism but then turn around and argue for centrally bailed out inefficient markets that favor minority over the majority. Everything is a zero sum game. It may be different this time!

Employment market is out of balance due to real wages going backwards. Workers do not want to work in relatively lower paid high stress jobs. We are in capitalism. If you want them, you need to pay up. It may be different this time!

If that were true Australia wouldnt need the largest permanent migration cap in the nations history. We absolutely need professionals like nurses, but they seem to make up a tiny proportion of actual new migrants.

Jobs summit: Make your voice heard. Increased immigration wont fix jobs and skills. population.org.au/jobs-summit-ma…

More than 10,000 students will receive FREE nursing or midwifery degrees under a $270 million plan to ease pressure on Victoria's health system. All new domestic students enrolling in 2023 and 2024 will receive a scholarship. DETAILS: 9Soci.al/tTTh50KtQp8 #9News

Just for context...let's hope the job summit does not turn into rich people telling poor people that they should work harder and get less in real terms to keep the rich getting richer. I hope it may be different this time!

Measure the outcomes an economy delivers to ordinary people (not the developers, bankers etc) ... then tell us how #population growth boosts our "economy".

In December last year Albanese & Labor refused to back the Coalition's plans to return to higher immigration. Since then the rental crisis has intensified massively and the wage settings of the economy have shown to be broken. Now Albo wants to ramp immigration to record levels

The Albanese government and the regional rental crisis summed up in meme form....😂

Ross Gittins :"When you hear of bosses so desperate that they’re giving their existing workers a “loyalty bonus” or offering new workers a “sign-on bonus”, remember this: paying any kind of once-off bonus is a way of avoiding granting a proper pay rise" smh.com.au/business/the-e…

This is how muppets like Albo and others in both parties are disconnected from reality. 200k immigrants, 500k international students, nil fucks given about rental market; all policies are piecemeal, private market solution oriented, won’t solve the problem #ausbiz
