Australia is looking forward to hiring more Indian IT professionals following the signing of a free trade agreement with India to combat the rising attrition rate in the country. It is estimated that by 2025 the country’s worker shortage will grow to 260,000. According to experts and several surveys, the pandemic is one of the primary reasons triggering the situation. The Indian Minister for Trade and Commerce, Piyush Goyal, and the Australian counterpart Dan Tehan recently discussed the possibilities of easing the trade restrictions between the two countries to solve the shortage.
