Melbourne/Victoria has net influx migration and is on a path to surpass Sydney as the most populous State. Of course people are unhappy; there is a time lag and strain on essential services before they catch up with the population growth. House prices are set to increase; trams are packed and make the headlines of constantly breaking down.
In South Australia, with the loss of car manufacturing jobs, it is one State this is currently registering the highest unemployment rate with its economy hinging on research and education and the awarding of contracts to build subs and ships in Adelaide.
In the NT, it is the only state with negative net migration but remains one of the lowest in terms of unemployment, second only to the ACT or Canberra.
Which do you prefer? Sub-zero winters or the tropical North? Or perhaps you prefer to compete with 66-68 thousand new migrants to the State for a job?
