What does a Trump administration mean for the Australian labour market?

While some have put question marks over the future of AUKUS, Trump’s previous support for defence, security and cyber initiatives means it is unlikely there will be radical change to expected growth in demand for Australian tech professionals in these fields. Opportunities may also arise for Australian remote AI and tech workers to support Trump/US efforts around self-sufficiency in manufacturing and other sectors.
 
At the same time, stricter US immigration policies under a Trump government could boost Australia’s ability to compete for a skilled, professional talent pool if the US is perceived as a less attractive destination by these workers.
