53% of businesses in Australia could not find a suitable labourer

Metrics from NAB showed that 53% of businesses in Australia could not find a suitable labourer worker in the April to June quarter. Hospitality, tourism, healthcare, manufacturing and technology are the five hardest-hit sectors. In addition, limitations in the supply of international students and holidaymaker visa holders have aggravated the staff shortage situation.

Processing the skill shortages visa takes anywhere from 30 days to 15 months, and it is predicted that overseas migrations take 12-18 months to reach the pre-pandemic levels.

As businesses are going through operating expenses, the question of paying high wages to attract skilled staff is still lying thin in the air.

Businesses can fill this gap by hiring remote off-shore teams via outsourcing. SBA’s outsourcing solutions help organisations by providing them with round-the-clock services. SBA’s strategic integration of the Melbourne team and Indian team assists organisations cost-effectively and efficiently.
