Will cutting migrant numbers save Aussie jobs

Will cutting migrant numbers save Aussie jobs Will cutting migrant numbers save Aussie jobs?Posted October 13, 2011, by Helen Isbister The governments decision to slash skilled migrant numbers in a bid to boost local employment has received a mixed response from industry, unions and academics. The government is trimming the number of skilled workers to be accepted into Australia next financial year by 14 per cent to 115 000 the first reduction in more than a decade. The move comes after the turbulent global economy pushed unemployment to jump to 5.2 per cent last month. Immigration Minister, Chris Evans, says we need to ensure that migrant workers are meeting skills shortages and bedrngnis competing with locals for jobs. The Master Builders Association welcomed the decision to remove building and manufacturing from the critical skills list, forcing companies to find bricklayers, plumbers, welders and carpenters locally. They say the cuts are warranted because unemployment in the bui lding sector is rising, with an expected loss of at least 50 000 jobs over the next 12 months. Sectors still experiencing skills shortages, such as engineering, information technology and health care, will not be affected by the cuts, while employers can still sponsor migrant workers if they can prove local labour is not available. There are still skills shortages in some sectors and these measures will enable industry to continue to source the skilled professionals they need while protecting local jobs and the wages and conditions of Australian workers, Senator Evans said. The Opposition welcomed the moved, but Shadow Immigration Spokesperson Sharman Stone says more jobs could have been saved if the government had acted sooner. There have been 10 000 jobs lost since October, including areas in mining and manufacturing, Dr Stone said. We are not just in the business of jobs but housing and other services and it is going to be difficult enough for Australians without having to compet e with new arrivals. But not everyone agrees cutting einwanderung will have a positive impact on Australian employment and the state of the economy in the long term. Phil Lewis, Professor of Economics at the University of Canberra, said the move could cost local jobs and lead to greater skills shortages. Migrants actually create jobs, they need houses and the retail sector receives a boom because migrants tend to spend more. Migration should be seen as a long-term policy to encourage economic growth and protect further skills shortages, Professor Lewis said. The Australian Industry Group, which represents 10 000 employers, agreed that immigration is one of the drivers of future economic growth. The general skilled migration program should maintain a long-term focus on adding to the pool of trade skills that are essential to build the economy in the coming years, Ai Group chief executive, Heather Ridout, said. The migrant worker program is expected to be cut back further in the May b udget.

What Are You Willing to Struggle For

What Are You Willing to Struggle ForWhat Are You Willing to Struggle ForBecause if you want the benefits of something in life, you have to also want the costs.A happy Fourth of JulyAdvice from Theodore Roosevelt on July 4thIt is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.That was Theodore Roosevelt speaking at the Sorbonne in 1910 and I run this prozentanteil every Independence Day because it inspires us.Speaking of national heroes, I dropped by the Met, and was inspired by the new setting for the famous Washington crossing the Delaware.Its majestic.Depicting the night of December 25, 1776, Leutzes painting captures a desperate General Washington pushing his luck after a miserable first year in the field against the British. The lunacy of the raid - chunks of ice the size of Volkswagens clogged a turbulent Delaware River - is somewhat forgotten in the haze of later victories.A general facing winter without victories, armies, or money, is a general facing the hangman, and Washington knew it. The codeword that night was Victory or Death.Washington had to decide what he wanted to do at a moment of the lowest lows for him and his team.I was searching for a way to explain it better and stumbled across these words from Mark MansonEverybody wants what feels good. Everyone wants to live a carefree, happy and easy life, to fall in love and have amazing sex and relationships, to look perfect and make money and be popular and well-respected and admired and a total baller to the point that people part like the Red Sea when you walk into the room.Everyone would like that - its easy to like that.If I ask you, What do you want out of life? and you say something like, I want to be happy and have a great family and a job I like, its so ubiquitous that it doesnt even mean anything.A more interesting question, a question that perhaps youve never considered before, is what pain do you want in your life? What are you willing to struggle for? Because that seems to be a greater determinant of how our lives turn out.Everybody wants to have an amazing job and financial independence - but not everyone wants to suffer through 60-hour work weeks, long commutes, obnoxious paperwork, to navigate arbitrary corporate hierarchies and the blank confines of cubicle hell. People want to be rich without the risk, with out the sacrifice, without the delayed gratification necessary to accumulate wealth.Everybody wants to have great sex and an awesome relationship - but not everyone is willing to go through the tough conversations, the awkward silences, the hurt feelings and the emotional psychodrama to get there. And so they settle. They settle and wonder What if? for years and years and until the question morphs from What if? into Was that it? And when the lawyers go home and the alimony check is in the mail they say, What was that for? if not for their lowered standards and expectations 20 years prior, then what for?Because happiness requires struggle. The positive is the side effect of handling the negative. You can only avoid negative experiences for so long before they come roaring back to life.At the core of all human behavior, our needs are more or less similar. Positive experience is easy to handle. Its negative experience that we all, by definition, struggle with. Therefore, what we get o ut of life is not determined by the good feelings we desire but by what bad feelings were willing and able to sustain to get us to those good feelings.People want an amazing physique. But you dont end up with one unless you legitimately appreciate the pain and physical stress that comes with living inside a gym for hour upon hour, unless you love calculating and calibrating the food you eat, planning your life out in tiny plate-sized portions.People want to start their own business or become financially independent. But you dont end up a successful entrepreneur unless you find a way to appreciate the risk, the uncertainty, the repeated failures, and working insane hours on something you have no idea whether will be successful or not.People want a partner, a spouse. But you dont end up attracting someone amazing without appreciating the emotional turbulence that comes with weathering rejections, building the sexual tension that never gets released, and staring blankly at a phone that never rings. Its part of the game of love. You cant win if you dont play.What determines your success isnt What do you want to enjoy? The question is, What pain do you want to sustain? The quality of your life is not determined by the quality of your positive experiences but the quality of your negative experiences. And to get good at dealing with negative experiences is to get good at dealing with life.Theres a lot of crappy advice out there that says, Youve just got to want it enoughEverybody wants something. And everybody wants something enough. They just arent aware of what it is they want, or rather, what they want enough.Because if you want the benefits of something in life, you have to also want the costs. If you want the beach body, you have to want the sweat, the soreness, the early mornings, and the hunger pangs. If you want the yacht, you have to also want the late nights, the risky business moves, and the possibility of pissing off a person or ten thousand.If you find y ourself wanting something month after month, year after year, yet nothing happens and you never come any closer to it, then maybe what you actually want is a fantasy, an idealization, an image and a false promise. Maybe what you want isnt what you want, you just enjoy wanting. Maybe you dont actually want it at all.Sometimes I ask people, How do you choose to suffer? These people tilt their heads and look at me like I have twelve noses. But I ask because that tells me far more about you than your desires and fantasies. Because you have to choose something. You cant have a pain-free life. It cant all be roses and unicorns. And ultimately thats the hard question that matters. Pleasure is an easy question. And pretty much all of us have similar answers. The more interesting question is the pain. What is the pain that you want to sustain?That answer will actually get you somewhere. Its the question that can change your life. Its what makes me me and you you. Its what defines us and sepa rates us and ultimately brings us together.Who you are is defined by the values you are willing to struggle for. People who enjoy the struggles of a gym are the ones who get in good shape. People who enjoy long workweeks and the politics of the corporate ladder are the ones who move up it. People who enjoy the stresses and uncertainty of the starving artist lifestyle are ultimately the ones who live it and make it.This is not a call for willpower or grit. This is not another admonishment of no pain, no gain.This is the fruchtwein simple and basic component of life our struggles determine our successes. So choose your struggles wisely, my friend.On this anniversary of our struggle for independence, may you find yourself struggling with all the right things.

Leaders Sometimes Let Others Lead

Leaders Sometimes Let Others LeadLeaders Sometimes Let Others LeadLeaders lead. We all know that. We always see them step up and effortlessly take charge. Look a little more closely at a good leader you know and you will notice there are times when these good leaders dont lead they let others lead. They become followers. They become followers who are every bit as good at following as they are at leading when its time for them to lead. When Leaders Lead When leaders lead, they share their vision and their excitement. They motivate their followers with their passion. Good leaders lead by example and provide those under them a picture of what is possible. When you see a leader step back and give someone else the opportunity to lead, its usually of one of a few solid reasonstraining,delegation, or expertise. Training Leaders develop their gruppe members. They help the gruppe members gain new skills to help the team increase its ability to reach the leaders goal. One important ski ll the leader teaches the team is leadership. And, oddly, another is followership. One way you give someone an opportunity to learn and improve their leadership skill is by letting them lead. If the leader always leads, no one else on the team will ever have the chance to practice leading and they wont improve in that key skill. So when the leader steps back and lets someone else take over it helps them both. You can call Bob into your office and tell him, I want you to run the meeting this afternoon. Ill be there if you have any questions, but its your show. The hard part for the manager is letting Bob run the meeting. If there are questions during the meeting, they should be directed to Bob, not the boss. If someone asks the boss something, he/she has to defer to Bob. The leader should only answer the questions from Bob. This shows the team that Bob is the leader. Or you call Maria and tell her, I want you to head up the new project. Here are your resources. This is the schedule. Heres what I expect. Keep me posted and see me if you have any issues. Then get out of the way and let her lead the project team. I have led many community tafelgeschirr projects for previous employers so when my new employer was looking into such a project I was trying to figure out how I could make time to lead it. When one of the other employees, a person in an individual contributor role, stepped up and volunteered to lead the effort I was pleasedand relieved. I had discovered someone who might have some leadership talent I could help develop and I wouldnt have to expend the extra effort to lead the project. I could be a part of the team. I could be a good follower. And that is the second key skill a leader trains their team in followership. A good leader has good followers. Just as the leader has led by example and shown the team his/her vision and the picture of what is possible, the leader now shows the team, by example, what good followership is. In each of the three exampl es above, the leader has the opportunity to jump in and fix things, but thats not leadership and it is not followership. The leader has to know when to let the team member face some challenges in order to grow and improve their performance. By letting the others lead, the leader provides a great example of followership. It can be in the leaders group or in a different part of the organization. The leader trains team members every time he/she doesnt lead. Delegation When a leader delegates to one of their team members, that person has the opportunity to function in a leadership role. They get hands-on practice in leadership and get to improve their skill. If a leader is always the leader, they arent delegating. If they arent delegating, they are missing a critical opportunity to train their team members. Expertise Another time when leaders dont lead is when they recognize that someone else has greater expertise in the subject matter. That someone could be another leader in th e organization or someone in a subordinate position. We needed musical entertainment for the annual company picnic. I have two people on my team who are musicians and have played professionally in the past. I gladly stepped aside and let them make the choices of what type of music to have, which musicians to hire, what sound equipment was needed, how to set up the stage, etc. Bottom Line It can be hard for a leader to not lead sometimes, but it is essential. It lets the leader improve his team and its members and makes it easier to achieve the goals. This doesnt mean you run away from a difficult situation and let someone else lead. It means when you are in charge, you let someone else be the leader.
