Taking a deeper look at the governments facts and figures
According to a departmental report issued in June 2016, there are almost 95,000 temporary skilled migrants in Australia under the program.
A total of 55 per cent of applications were granted to “professionals”, with 23 per cent granted to technical and trade workers and 17 per cent granted to managers.
We dived a little deeper into that report to see where those workers were coming from, where they were going, what jobs they were doing and how much they were getting paid.
