People have pushed up house prices by offering more and more at auctions and offering above market value, particularly those on 2 incomes, the government can not be blamed for that
What they can be blamed for is stalling wages as the let overseas workers in the hundreds of thousands to fill unskilled vacancies
These jobs were filled by school leavers who likely also studied along with mostly unskilled workers, these unskilled workers are mostly now on welfare
There is now too much supply so employers have no need to offer up more to find suitable employees...
As an employer, through ought the boarder closures, labour was very hard to find and and I was having to offer more to find staff, which had the added knock on effect that I had to increase pay to my current staff to match the new ones, double ouch...
