npub1nky4yuce4fu52tgrc4zcg7vjkhhrj7pzhpd4n7khxtn52cchck2qlnrk4g (npub1nky…rk4g) I'm always careful before falling into such generalizations, but I feel like it definitely applies to the Netherlands today.
Since 2020 we've been suffering of acute job shortages in the most basic professions that have almost become chronic.
Finding primary school teachers has become so difficult that we've opened the gates to foreign teachers who don't even know Dutch, and even lowered the bar to include people who don't even have academic degrees.
And let's not even get started with childcare (basically all of the workers in my kid's daycare are Moroccan, and getting them expelled from the country would mean nobody to take care of my kid when I work), healthcare (hospitals have become chronically understaffed, not because of shortage of doctors but because of shortage of nurses, janitors and basic ER personnel) and even public transport (we struggle to even find enough bus and train drivers, and more and more connection services get cancelled because there's nobody to operate the means of transportation).
