🚨 My book "In Our Interest: How Democracies Can Make Immigration Popular" is finally out today with @ColumbiaUP! 🚨
It tackles one of the biggest challenges today: How can we make freer human mobility between countries more politically sustainable? 🧵
I have a new essay in @ForeignAffairs: no democracy has ever eased widespread immigration concerns without being very selective about whom it admits.
To move forward on the issue, governments on the left and right should make better policies whose benefits to voters are clear.
Western Australia’s mining sector faces a shortfall of 11,000+ workers by 2029.
Africa’s growing pool of technically skilled workers can help meet this demand—if ethical mobility pathways are built to connect talent with opportunity. 🌍

The world’s top job expert just made a shocking statement.
At the Univ. of Technology in Sydney, he studies how tech replaces workers.
And he just warned, "AI is outsourcing humans at a record pace."
Here are his 3 terrifying predictions for 2025 and beyond: ⬇️
US construction sector is currently facing a major labour crisis; 80% of firms struggle to hire. @ABCNational says 450,000 new workers are needed in 2025 just to stay afloat.
The average advertised salary hit a new record last month despite a fall in vacancies, showing firms remain willing to compete on pay to attract top talent, a new survey suggests.
According to job search site Adzuna, the average annual advertised salary passed £40,000 for the first time in December.
Continued demand for skilled staff as well as hesitancy around hiring has pushed salaries up by over seven per cent since December 2023, the firm said.
The increase in advertised salaries came even as the number of vacancies fell by four per cent month-on-month.
