John Kehoe embarrases self with immigration propaganda

MacroBusiness Access Subscriber Only Content at 11:00 am on July 15, 2021 | 13 comments The AFR has taken another shot at RBA governor Phil Lowe for daring to admit that Australia’s mass immigration program pushed down wage growth. The robber baron’s paper of choice has now enlisted economics editor John Kehoe to cherry-pick research and testimony claiming that immigration does not push down wages. Below are Kehoe’s main arguments: Economic studies are inconclusive about the impact of immigration on wages. “Australia’s disproportionately skilled migration program may be ‘decreasing inequality’ – because skilled foreign workers compete for jobs and wages against higher paid Australians”.

Immigration robber barons strike back with propaganda

MacroBusiness Access Subscriber Only Content at 10:20 am on July 12, 2021 | 16 comments The AFR hit back hard against RBA governor Phil Lowe’s admission last week that Australia’s mass immigration program pushed down wage growth. The robber baron’s paper of choice published two spruik pieces over the weekend (here and here) ‘debunking’ Lowe’s argument, which were centred largely around former RBA board member Warwick McKibbin’s view that strong levels of immigration lifts the nation’s productivity: The idea that immigration costs local jobs or depresses Australian wages is an old furphy. As former Reserve Bank board member Warwick McKibbin tells The Australian Financial Review: “Real wage growth is driven by productivity. Skilled immigrants raise economy-wide productivity.”
