Noted. Thanks.

Skill deficiency is a real issue for the Northern nation as it has not been able to fill in nearly 400,000 vacant jobs for over 4 months now!

Is it skill deficiency or wage deficiency?

Well, Govt stats put YoY hourly wage increase at 2.6% - which should be considered healthy.

Is that number with inflation? Inflation seems to be running 2.5% as of june '18. And around 2.2% before that. I think that puts the wage increase in the noise of flat to a small increase.
