They Terk Er Jerbs

Australian net migration and labour market to scale.

The go-to explanation for why the labour market is the way it is seems to be immigration.

But the labour market is more than just the unemployed and migrants.

Migration undoubtedly has an effect, but going by scale alone the conduct of the employed - the conditions they accept or reject and the bargains they drive for - has greater impact on job seekers.

Also in play are vacancies, which like population has huge differences across regions and sectors.

All that said, what you see in the chart is going to be different from what I see in the chart.

So while there are expectations for reform post-pandemic, I don't see consensus on what needed adjustment.

I do, however, think that defaulting the conversation to immigration sounds like this:

Transcode to PSP using Handbrake

Source: Handbrake 0.9.9.5530 64-bit edition Target: (Phat) Playstation Portable PSP-1000 , System Software: 6.60 Many internet articles on how to transcode video to PSP using Handbrake have not worked for me. Even the most helpful are incomplete. I hope this post will help fill in the blanks. There is no longer any PSP preset for Handbrake, but from what I can gather, the preset had only limited success as the x264 encoder would change syntax and settings between versions. Other presets that may have worked before, like 'iPod' and 'Apple-Universal' now do not. Here is what worked for me, step by step:

Dismissing Racism

Whenever white people kill people of colour, as in 2021's anti-Asian shootings in Atlanta Georgia , this sort of counter-commentary appears: "Since the killing of six Asian women who worked in massage parlors in Atlanta, the media has amplified the false narrative that “white supremacy” is to blame. ... official crime stats show that white people are significantly underrepresented in terms of the violent crime threat they pose to Asians." ... citing FBI statistics , whereas whites comprise 62% of the population, they committed 24% of crimes against Asians in 2018. In comparison, blacks, who comprise 13% of the population, committed 27.5% of all violent crimes against Asian Americans in 2018. So clearly, white people do not represent the biggest crime threat to Asian Americans." Not only is this an attack on the media and its imagined agenda, it also implies that Asians can't tell who's assaulting them.
