Data on migration and pay hits raw nerveRocketWerkz founder Dean Hall says NZ needs to attract all the talented people it can and use their knowledge to train the next generation. Xero chief executive Rod Drury dismissed the report on Twitter saying it "could not be more wrong". The links between migration and pay – which were based on pay data voluntarily submitted by 39,000 workers in the industry – were what would be expected from the law of supply and demand, he said. The row erupted at the same time as ANZ chief executive David Hisco called for a review of New Zealand's immigration policies. Three top technology bosses have slammed a claim that migrants are causing salaries in the information technology industry to fall.
