Sarah, I'm a floor layer and I have been in the country for 11 days. I've got PR and I've found loads of work already.
I had 2 weeks of work lined up before I came over and I've got a few offers of work for when this job is done. There's plenty of work and if ur hubby is hard working and good at his job then I reckon he good make a really good living.
Seems to me that there's a lot more opportunities than back home and better money.
