Australia will re-open its international borders to overseas students, skilled visa holders and working holiday makers, with Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews expecting that at least 200,000 migrant workers will arrive in Australia by July. Labour market economist Professor Jeff Borland contends that the return of migrant workers will have a "pronounced impact", and he says research shows that migrant workers are positive for the economy. However, he notes that they tend to be concentrated in certain industries, making it hard for existing workers in those sectors to secure better wages.
