Highlights
  • The latest survey by the Bureau of Statistics found that almost a third of businesses surveyed were struggling to find suitable staff.
  • Two-thirds of large businesses, and 62 per cent of medium-sized businesses struggled; 29 per cent of small businesses said they also had no luck, their operations were more likely to be affected.
  • Employing migrant and refugee workers could be the solution to workers shortage.
