Inflow of foreign workers in Australia
The bar chart illustrates the changes in the number of people immigrating into Australia for permanent settlement and temporary work in a span of ten years.
Overall, during the first half of the given period, the number of permanent settlers was higher than temporary workers, whilst an opposite trend was observed over the last period.
Looking at the chart more closely, in 1992, around 40000 people came to Australia becoming permanent settlers, more doubled those for temporarily working. The figure declined dramatically, hit a low of 13000 people in 1994 and remained stable until 1996. By contrast, the number of people immigrating for working temporarily was less than permanent workers, with the figure standing at just around 15000 people in 1993, remaining stable from 1992 to 1996.
In the period between 1997 to 2001, transient employees rise gradually in number, reaching a peak of over 45000 people in 2001, despite a slight fluctuation in 1999. As can be seen the same mainstream in permanent settlers but still less than 1992.
