According to the AEBB, around 4 jobs are open in the city. The city joined a program created by the country to attract people from other countries like Brazil to fill vacancies. In European countries, England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, the unemployment rate reached 4,7% in the first half of this year. The same period last year was 5,2%.
The UK also suffers from a labor shortage.
In the United Kingdom, the lack of labor in some segments is associated with the exit from the European Union, which caused many workers from the euro zone to leave Great Britain. This is the case of the meat industry and transport sector, for example.
In England alone, there are more than 100 vacancies open for drivers and this is because most of the workers in the sector who went from the island to the European continent did not return to England due to the bureaucracy to release loads.
