This is a huge exaggeration.
Australia is easy to go to for low skilled workers but the market in general for white collar workers is around the same as the UK.
US is also a nightmare.
I've been sponsored for H1B's and it's pure luck, and right now I'm 50% in DC and 50% in London and ultimately my work made me a "Director" just so i could be eligible for L-1 Visa's.
There is no way 99% of even "top" graduates from the UK are getting to USA. No chance.
Do you have any statistics for that?
My company has offices in all those countries and best graduates I trained transferred to those countries due to low salaries in the UK. So this is my personal experience only but I know a lot of doctors that have moved out of the UK as well due to low salaries after becoming consultants.
The Australian team is passing some of their work onto us as we are cheaper and they can make a profit this way. I was offered to join their office and the salary was 34% higher than my salary here in UK.
In the US, colleague at my level earns
more than double what I earn.
