Who is taking all our jobs?
WE are!
Australian employers have mainly restricted the economy-wide job losses to migrant workers, and Australian-born workers have been shielded from the worst of the global recession.
The Australian says that Australian-born workers dropped 22,000 full-time jobs in the 12 months to May but picked up an extra 74,500 part-time jobs for a net gain of 52,500 positions.
