A new study has revealed the dramatic impact migration to Australia has had on the country's workforce.
Over the past five years, four out of five staff hired have been new migrants, and, without them, worker numbers in Australia would have actually fallen.
Since 2011, employment in Australia has grown by 730,000 people, and 600,000 of them were new migrants.
