Improving job matching services for migrants could deliver $6 billion to the Australian economy each year, according to a new report.
The report from the independent Bankwest Curtin Economics Centre (BCEC) suggests helping migrants find a job at a similar skill level to those they had in their country of origin would give the Australian economy yearly multi-million dollar injections.
Report co-author and BCEC Director Alan Duncan said the report sheds light on the extent of which skills mismatch is concentrated toward migrants, particularly those from non-English speaking backgrounds.
