Hmm, I think the unemployment rate is low because apparently a lot of people aren't looking for a job, which even though they may be of working age, the government removes them from the stats. Smoke and mirrors...

Scummo offering reimbursements of visa costs to foreign workers soon on arrival here, and apparently there's 10k people with visas ready to go.

These foreign workers will hardly fill the gap, and the majority will be going into areas where employers are finding it hard to find people. Eg; hospitality, agriculture, distribution etc

So unlikely to affect unemployment rate, however you can be sure the gov will spruik about more jobs filled/ created, just like their US counterparts already have.

There have been reports of employers poaching people by means of  offering a better wicket, grass is greener style scenario, better money, better perks.
