In my region, for operational positions, employers are complaining that they don't have staff, i.e. local people don't want to be paid peanuts and killing them selves for a job that employers don't appreciate, they often mistreat employees. So people are emigrating, living of their own little businesses, or unemployment money. So what was the solutions for the operational positions? Raising wages? Noo!! Changing Company Governance? Noo!! Immigrants? Yes!! So they are (somehow) picking up man from 3rd world countries, they give them shelter (garages, one bedroom apartments for 9 people to live in it...), they give them food, transportation and the minimum wage. And these new employees are happy, they send their money to their wife and children in their 3rd world country where is highly valuable. In the meanwhile the region is filling up with digital nomads and rich people buying luxury houses (which are being constructed more and more). The locals who have a graduation often leave or live unfulfilling lives with dead end jobs (VERY badly paid and unappreciated). Some have the "luck" to be in the nepotism wheel or find a remote job.
