Will the jobs boom last long enough to result in wage rises? Concerning portents came in the latest jobs numbers for those who care to look beyond the headlines. The figures released last Thursday, included the welcome news that unemployment has fallen to a record of 3.4 per cent in July 2022.

Behind that news lies a more complex truth.

What you may not have heard was that the number of employed people in Australia fell in the month, by an estimated 41,000, seasonally adjusted. Such a fall would usually result in an increase in unemployment, not a decrease. The reason we experienced the latter was because of a simultaneous fall in workforce participation - not a small one either, as the next graph shows. Outside recent lockdowns, you need to go back to before 2010 to find such a large one-month fall in workforce participation:

Participation fell from 66.8% to 66.4%. That means far fewer people were looking for jobs. As a result, even though there were fewer employed people, unemployment fell. (You need to be looking for work to count as unemployed). A fall in participation could be caused by many things - but one reason to consider is a labour market that is not quite as bountiful as it was.

Have Job Ads Peaked?

The number of job advertisements recorded by ANZ is no longer growing, which senior economist Catherine Birch called "a signal that we may be past the peak".

That would be a shame if it means wages growth never quite gets the uplift many have hoped for. Recent data on wages growth came out last week - a mild and slightly disappointing 2.6%. A far cry from the glory days a decade or more ago of annual growth over 4%.

Despite their belief job ads won't keep growing, ANZ nevertheless forecasts unemployment to fall below 3% in early 2023, because job vacancies remain high - indeed, the number of vacancies is higher than the number of people unemployed right now.

But that forecast doesn't match the federal government's. Treasury's forecasts are for unemployment to rise such that it averages 3.75 per cent over this financial year and continues to rise thereafter. That official forecast is worth paying attention to, as they know things we don't. The government controls a couple of powerful policy levers they will almost certainly pull this year.

Two Big Policy Levers to Pull

First is the federal budget, due in October. The new Treasurer, Jim Chalmers, is installed in the Treasurer's office and will likely hope to distinguish himself from his debt-accretive predecessor. Chalmers was once chief-of-staff to former Treasurer Wayne Swan, and his commitment to the principles of good Keynesian economics is not to be questioned: spend up big in the bad times, but save in the good times. Which is to say he will deliver a tight budget with a lower deficit that should reduce pressure for price rises.

Lower federal spending would translate to an economy, labour market and wages growth all softer than they would otherwise have been.

The second lever the government can pull is migration. There is pent-up demand to migrate to this country, and scant migration has been allowed in the last two years. However in July the Immigration Minister announced he would take action on a "visa backlog", so that " more people can travel to Australia and contribute to economic growth, and assist with labour shortages".

Even Australia's unions have agreed to support an increase in migration by 40,000 places up to 200,000 people per year, if certain conditions are met.

A higher inflow of skilled migrants could help loosen up Australia's supply chain snarls and resolve labour shortages - and could also cause wage pressure to lose its spark. That would perhaps be helpful for preventing inflation from becoming embodied in wage expectations - after all, high wage demands can sometimes help create a cycle that further increases inflation. But it could also disappoint those who have been waiting years for Australian wage growth to return from its current anaemic level to its previous "normal".

Delayed Reactions

The sole problem with all these actions and changes will be if they represent too much, too late.

Monetary policy operates with a lag. While inflation is uncomfortably high, at 6.1%, the recent sharp rises in interest rates are yet to have fully taken effect. (And we should say inflation was high, data is necessarily backward-looking). Adding more efforts to control inflation before we see where rate rises gets us may lead to overshooting.

Monetary policy reduces the pressure for price rises slowly. One estimate from a meta-analysis is that the effects of a rate rise (or cut) take between 25 to 50 months in developed countries to fully impact consumers and the economy (Havranek and Rusnak 2013). The RBA doesn't think it works quite so slowly but have published research implying the lag in action is more than a year (Gruen 1997).

Such lags may be even longer now so many Australians are using fixed-rate mortgages. Fixed rate mortgages delay the inevitable for borrowers, but they are not an escape valve. So while rate rises are in the past, their effects are in the future.

Yes, inflation was rampant in the months of April, May and June. But the arrows are in the air, and they will land amid the arrayed forces of inflation, decimating them and reducing their power. Not only the arrows of Australia's central bank either, but those of the US Fed and the Eurozone. When so much inflation is imported, a reduction in demand anywhere in the world should translate to reduced inflation in Australia.

Charging headlong at inflation now might cause an economic policy-maker to overestimate the strength of the adversary, and push so strongly that the Australian economy becomes unbalanced. This is the risk that the Treasurer faces in tightening the Budget and in opening the borders.

If we wish see even lower unemployment numbers in future, a very carefully calibrated attack on inflation is required.

A family who has been living and working in for the past decade are set to be deported tonight after a visa battle with the nation's immigration department.

Mark Green was headhunted by a South Australian solar company in 2012 to fill a shortage of highly skilled solar installation electricians.

After Green took the job, it sparked a huge move for his whole family including wife Kelly and daughter Rebecca.

The family had been promised permanent residency by employers.

However, Green's family has faced a number of hurdles after multiple businesses he has been employed by have gone under, meaning they have not been granted permanent residency and remain on a bridging visa.

The Department of Immigration has decided not to extend the family's visa and they are set to be deported back to Scotland at 10pm tonight.

South Australian MP Frank Pangallo, who has been fighting to keep the family in Australia, called on the federal government to reconsider their decision while speaking to Ben Fordham on 2GB.

"We're calling on minister Andrew Giles to intervene and allow them to apply to stay in Australia while they're in Australia instead of the expense of going to Scotland," he said.

"The Green family have been here for 10 years, they've spent $200,000 trying to meet the requirements of visas here.

"They haven't been a burden on tax payers, they educated their child out of their own pocket, their own medical expenses.

"They contribute to the community and are well loved."

9news.com.au has reached out to the Department of Immigration for comment.

Green spoke to Fordham on 2GB last week and said the stress on his family is unexplainable.

"You would not believe the stress, the anxiety and the anger," Green said.

"I don't even want to think about what my daughter and wife are going through.

"We are just looking to be classed as Australian citizens, we're not looking for handouts, we are just looking for a bit of help."

"Don't ignore the double standard here, the minister is happy to show compassion when there's enough publicity for him to look like a hero," Fordham said.

"He'll step in to help one family but allow another to be kicked out of Australia."

Australia is holding people in immigration detention for an average of 689 days, the highest on record and more than 12 times longer than the United States, according to Human Rights Watch, which has renewed calls for an end to the "harsh and unlawful policy".

The brief detention of tennis star Novak Djokovic in Melbourne's Park hotel recently brought global attention to Australia's harsh immigration policies, but more than one month on, 32 refugees and asylum seekers remain in the same facility.

Home affairs department figures suggest 1,459 people are being held in various immigration detention facilities in Australia, including more than 70 refugees and asylum seekers transferred from Nauru and Manus Island.

The average length of detention has increased to 689 days, vastly longer than comparable countries like the United States and Canada, where the averages are 55 days and 14 days respectively, Human Rights Watch says.

Eight people have now spent more than 10 years in Australian immigration detention, and 117 have been detained for longer than five years.

"It just shows how completely alone Australia is in the world, in terms of how absolutely horrific indefinite detention is, that there's no end date," Human Rights Watch Australia researcher Sophie McNeill said. "Other like-minded countries don't do anything like us."

One of those still trapped in Melbourne's Park hotel is Mehdi Ali, who fled Iran as a child of 15, arriving by boat in Australia seeking sanctuary. Ali's family, part of the persecuted Ahwazi Arab minority, urged him to flee in the hope he would find freedom in Australia.

He was recognised as a refugee, meaning Australia owed him protection, but has since been detained for almost a decade across facilities on Nauru, in Brisbane and now Melbourne's notorious Park hotel.

"The residents of this building are desperately in need of freedom," Ali said. "Some of them think about committing suicide every night before they go to sleep."

The joint standing committee on migration is examining a bill to end indefinite and arbitrary immigration detention.

Human Rights Watch has made a submission to the committee arguing community-based alternatives have been used across Europe with success. They also greatly reduce the costs to government.

The government recently revealed it was costing more than $56,000 a night to house 32 refugees and asylum seekers in the Park hotel in Melbourne. Labor said the government would save $19m by shifting the detainees into community detention, describing the ongoing cost as "an unbelievable waste of taxpayer money".

Elaine Pearson, Australia director at Human Rights Watch, said dismantling indefinite detention and shifting to community detention would bring Australia into line with its international obligations.

"Detaining people solely due to their immigration status is harmful, expensive and ineffective as a deterrent to migration," Pearson said. "The Australian government should stop punishing those who may have fled violence and other injustices and offer rights-respecting alternatives to detention."

Sixty-five per cent of temporary visa holders in Australia have experienced underpayment, while one in four say they have been exploited in the workplace, a survey has found.

A new study has found temporary visa holders in Australia face underpayment and exploitation

The Migrant Workers Centre interviewed 700 migrant workers to compile new data on their experience

It found most skilled workers face at least a five-year wait to gain permanent residency

The Migrant Workers Centre's Lives in Limbo report surveyed 700 migrants and found those on employer-sponsored visas suffered from very high levels of stress.

The release of the survey's findings comes only days after the Australian government delayed its plan to allow foreign students and skilled workers back into the country due to fears about the Omicron COVID variant.

Australian business groups and farmers have been calling for more skilled overseas workers and working holidaymakers to help fill worker shortages, particularly in the regions.

The Migrant Worker Centre study found 91 per cent of those who were underpaid, were on temporary visas with no pathway to residency.

The Melbourne-based centre said despite Australia relying on overseas workers from unskilled backpackers to highly trained doctors and IT workers, the visa system often left workers with a high level of uncertainty, stress and open to exploitation.

It also noted a central issue migrants faced was gaining permanent residency, which often took about five years but could blow out to more than a decade.

Migrants face visa uncertainty

Indian migrant worker Paramjit has been in Australia for 13 years, and doesn't want her surname to be used for fear of recriminations against her in the visa application process.

She's worked in Victoria and Tasmania as a hairdresser and is now an aged care worker in regional NSW.

Despite paying between $50,000 to $60,000 to the Immigration Department and her work record, she's been unable to secure permanent residency.

She has been forced to move interstate twice to comply with visas requirements, which have frequently changed.

"I had a lot of bad experiences with employers and migration agents while applying for three student visas, two sponsorship visas, and three state visas," she said.

Paramjit is still waiting for an outcome on her application for an 887 visa, a skilled visa for those who've worked in a regional area of need as part of a pathway to permanent residency.

She says she and her husband will persevere with trying to get permanent status in Australia because her son, who was born in 2012, will be eligible for citizenship next year.

"I am depressed with this visa system and policies," she said.

Calls for visa overhaul

Migrant Workers Centre chief executive Matt Kunkel says the government constantly changes visa rules creating a temporary class of workers, who are essential to the Australian economy but have limited protections or certainty.

"The government expects migrants - often highly educated and highly dedicated to creating a life in Australia - to give up the prime working years of their life to this country, all the while shifting the goalposts to keep permanent residency just out of reach," Mr Kunkel said.

"Workers on temporary visas experience workplace exploitation because the system creates barriers to reporting industrial wrongdoing."

The centre wants an overhaul of the system, including more permanent visas instead of the range of temporary visas.

They also want:

the employer sponsorship visa system scrapped and replaced with a state and territory-sponsorship system for permanent residency;

maximum visa processing times;

and, protections for migrant worker whistleblowers.

"We need an overhaul of the visa system so workers' lives don't rest solely in the hands of a single employer, and all long-term migrants have an opportunity for permanent residency," Mr Kunkel said.

The centre's study also found migrants on temporary visas also faced barriers in the job market, with 37 per cent saying they had been denied a job because they did not have permanent visas.

"Businesses are reluctant to offer migrant workers a professional job because the workers' continued service is contingent on their visa extension," the report said.

'We are skilled slaves'

Data analyst Hannah* from Turkey has been in Australia for four years and struggled to find a job because of her temporary visa status.

She says despite spending more than $7,000 on an immigration lawyer, she doesn't know if she will be able to stay in her current roles as a statistician for a hospitality company.

Her original application was rejected because the Immigration Department ruled a visa can only be granted to statisticians if they work in the banking or health sector.

She's been told it could take another three years to appeal her visa application.

"I was dealing with a high depression because of all these uncertainties," she said.

"It's not like a two-way relationship in Australia. We feel like we are skilled slaves."

The Home Affairs Department were contacted for comment.

Highlights

Australian states and territories have opened their skilled visa nomination programs for 2022-23

There is a massive allocation increase for subclass 491 and 190 visas for New South Wales, Victoria, and Western Australia

Places under the skilled stream increased from 79,600 to 109,900, while the family stream dropped from 77,300 to 50,000

Migration agent says it's great news for international students and temporary visa holders waiting for a skilled permanent residency pathway, but some are asking for more clarity

The size of the

is set each year alongside the Australian government's budget.

"Designed to attract skilled migrants to support Australia's economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, this year's government migration program will deliver 109,900 places in the skill stream and 50,000 places in the family stream while the total 160,000 places will remain the same," he says.

Victoria-based skilled migrant Rahul Dhawan is "delighted" by the increased allocation in the skilled list, but says the criteria is very unclear.

In previous years, applicants seeking permanent residency through skilled migration were obliged to work in their nominated occupation, but the Victorian state government has revoked such obligation easing the eligibility for registrations of interest.

Talking about the priorities of allocations, migration agent Mr Singh says, "Skilled regional nominations will be prioritised, followed by subclass 190 (skilled nominated) and then subclass 189 (skilled independent).

The spots allocated have been brought back to pre-pandemic levels with two-thirds allocated to skilled migration and one-third to family visas.

A small, regional town in South Australia is throwing its support behind a couple who are set to be deported next month after living in the country for 18 years.

Navi Kaur is an aged care worker and her husband Vik Singh is looking to work in aviation.

The couple have a long history in Goolwa, a town of roughly 9000 residents on the mouth of the Murray River. Together, they ran the local Indian restaurant for almost five years.

When uncertainty over their visa situation forced them to close their restaurant last year, Kaur got her qualifications in aged care, while on a bridging visa, and worked through the second half of the pandemic for Estia Health.

However, the couple have been given until September 30 to leave the country, or be deported, after their third application for a ministerial intervention was rejected last month.

So far, more than 35,000 people have signed the couple's petition imploring Immigration Minister Andrew Giles to allow them to stay in Australia.

"Australia is home for us. This is the place where we want to be, where we feel like we are destined to be," Kaur said.

"I left India when I was 18 years old, so long ago that I can't even remember it. I can't connect with India anymore."

Kaur and her husband, who met and married in Australia, have been living on bridging visas for the past eight years.

The couple's visa woes began in 2014, Kaur said, when a man posing as an immigration lawyer lodged an incomplete application for a permanent skilled visa on their behalf.

"He took $30,000 of our money and ran off. When I went to his office to find out what was happening it was empty," Kaur said.

The couple then went to an immigration agent, who lodged another application for a different type of skilled visa but failed to file all the required paperwork, leading to its refusal, Kaur said.

Migration Solutions CEO Mark Glazbrook is now acting on behalf of the couple. Like many vulnerable migrants, Kaur and her husband were taken advantage of, Glazbrook said.

"Prior to us working with the family they got some poor immigration advice and they also had a number of situations where they were exploited," he said.

In order to get a permanent Australian visa, Kaur and her husband would have to leave the country, unless Immigration Minister Andrew Giles chose to intervene, Glazbrook said.

There was a strong case for the minister to allow the couple to stay, he added.

"Navi is an aged care worker in a regional part of South Australia, where traditionally it's very, very difficult to find aged care workers," Glazbrook said.

"It's an area that was deemed during COVID to be a critical care sector by the Department of Home Affairs.

"So, in that situation, you would think that there is some merit in allowing her to remain in Australia working for her employer."

Glazbrook said Navi and her husband's case was just as worthy of intervention as other recent cases which had caught the minister's interest.

Earlier this month, Scottish solar electrician Mark Green and his family were given a last-minute reprieve from deportation after their case drew widespread media attention and South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas put their case to Giles.

Glazbrook is now preparing another last-ditch application for Kaur and her husband to have their case considered for a ministerial intervention, based on her aged care work, their community support and other recent immigration decisions.

Local mayor, Keith Parkes, as well as Federal MP for Mayo, Rebekha Sharkie, have both written letters in support of the couple to Giles.

Parkes said he was happy to back the couple who were "very well liked in the community".

"It's a shame, they've come here, started up a good business with a good following and the community took them on board, they fit into the community nicely.

"The government is talking about opening up more immigration for skilled people. Why send these people back? They're already here doing it."

9news.com.au has contacted Malinauskas and Giles for comment.
