澳洲水管工最短缺 每天赚$1500元
据8月2日《澳洲人报》报道,由于澳洲技术工人短缺情况恶化,水管工(plumbers)每天最高可赚$1,500元,甚至2000元。
在就业总人数约40万的建筑业三大工种里,水管工成为日薪最高的一群。
房屋业协会及AUSTRAL BIERKCS在本周三联合发表的报告显示,澳洲大部份州府城市及乡镇中心最缺的建筑业工种为水管工。如果每天出资少于$1,500元,已很难找到一名水管工肯“开工”,有些甚至提出每天2000元的要求。
澳洲建筑业联会主席PHIL DWYER表示,建筑行业各工种技术工人的短缺也造成过去5年建筑成本剧增71%。
Plumbers demanding $1500 a day

THEY have been lambasted for charging like wounded bulls.
But a snapshot of the availability of tradesmen explains why plumbers demand - and get - up to $1500 a day, making them the highest paid of the building industry's 400,000 tradespeople.
According to a joint Housing Industry Association and Austral Bricks report released yesterday, plumbers were the trade group in shortest supply in most capital cities and regional centres in the June quarter.
Despite a slowdown in the housing sector, the report found that all tradespeople remained in short supply, with nine of the 13 trades surveyed declining in availability during the quarter.
Plumbers, building workers involved in site preparation and roofers led the shortages, which were greatest in Western Australia and Queensland.
The Master Plumbers and Mechanical Services Association of Australia could not be contacted yesterday, but according to industry sources in most capital cities it is difficult to find a plumber willing to work for less than $1500 a day, with some demanding up to $2000.
HIA chief economist Harley Dale said trade shortages would put upwards pressure on building costs at a time when affordability was a challenge for the housing sector.
Reasons for shortages were many, but were partly because of an ageing workforce and apprenticeship training that reflected a different era of building, he said.
The findings highlighted challenges for the industry which, without an injection of more apprentices and skilled migrants, faced cost pressures.
The national president of the Builders Collective of Australia, Phil Dwyer, said the trades shortage had resulted in a 71 per cent increase in building costs over the past five years. |
