The same labour shortage was all over the news in Germany. Meanwhile people were mocking the salaries and conditions offered by those industries. Immigration is only means to acquire labour at below market rate.

Well there two reasons here in the Netherlands.

Some jobs are unworthy for Dutch people. Your Dutch nationality protects you from slavery. For this there are immigrants.

The second reason is that we have a lot of people doing bullshit jobs in climate controlled offices but nobody wants to do physical labour.

Maybe they should list typical daily active calorie expenditure for job positions ? We need an uber for mixing sedentary and physical jobs.
