We have a vicious circle in this country where many employers don't want to train staff - they just want to poach fully trained staff from elsewhere. The trouble is that the other employers now don't want to train people either, because all their best trained staff will be poached by others.
The only "solution" offered to this problem is just to poach more staff from overseas. They are cheaper, which the employers love, and the skills shortage is now somebody else's problem in another country.
Of course, wage deflation in the most skilled industries is just going to discourage new people from entering them, making the problem worse. We need solutions, not quick fixes at somebody else's expense.
