That's the way I read it. Employers don't want to pay enough to motivate people to develop skills for which they have openings. They'd rather hire foreigners than hire locals and train them. So they put pressure on the government to swamp the market with newly trained/educated people as well as loosen restrictions on the hiring of foreign nationals.
