Thanks for sharing!

tale as old as time

.

They are too cheap!… Most ppl with Exp need better job in better place… Or bcame freelance!,..😂 Freedom cant get from any companies!…..😂

It´s more like £35-40 per hour here.

There's an actual shortage in the UK & you can thank Brexit for that along with people who look down on blue collar work

Yeap. Never heard investment banks complain about shortage of skilled labour. Funny how that goes.

@@Lando-kx6so The UK has the highest immigration numbers in history right now.

​@@Lando-kx6so how is that possible if they are sending immigrants to Rwanda?

Here in America you’ll be making bank.

@@creatorofgods1668 Unluckily it's not the case here in Italy, I managed to get into the apprenticeship hired by an electrical company that paid 60% of what should I have earned at the end of the apprenticeship 6€ gross hour during apprenticeship and 9-10€ gross*hour... The fact is that I worked as a warehouse worker 8 hours a day and earned 10.8€ per hour gross and now luckily I was hired by a company as a logistical employee in full remote for 10€ gross/hr. I loved the job as an electrician apprentice, I was lucky because I was 28 when I was hired for that apprenticeship, but I didn't have any time for myself and was always tired after the job

Come to France. But the usa is much better. Min wage is 1400 euros in France. I live next to Italy, I really feel it's collapsing. Take care.

​@@creatorofgods1668 No he will not! And unless he lives in Mississippi, the COL is too high with a minimal welfare state. He better poor in the EU than in most of the US at double the wage.

​@@blueamenaa749US or Australia were and are countries with best wages

Have you seen the amount of taxes? It is insane

Education is free in denmark, so everyone has an education the only thing that is missing is experience. And the companies don't want to train people so they can get experience.

@@DiscoverStuff Please.. It's not free. It is tax-based. You pay for it every month.

@@Fpsmedia1337 you must be popular at parties with correcting other people

@@DiscoverStuff Calling it ''free'' is bordering on disinformation. It is NOT free.

Don't know about the 'Blue Card'. You need it to work in another country in Europe ? Like for example a French person who wants to work in Ireland?

@@geoffoakland It allows Non-EU qualified workers to be employed in EU countries(most of it)

@@bugra320 OK, thanks. I have legal residency in an EU country, but not citizenship (yet). Do you know if I can legally work in another EU country, before getting my citizenship?

@@geoffoakland "Do you know if I can legally work in another EU country, before getting my citizenship?" You can if you have the qualifications for the work. EU is a free workers market and there are few administrative hoops that needs jumping for workers to move between EU countries. Having the qualifications for each country is however one of those hoops.

You don't get it. The unemployment isn't high, just around 2.9% and most of them don't have the educations needed to fill the available jobs.

@@KurtFrederiksen I'm not referring to unemployment, rather, underemployment. It is a coordinated whole of government approach where universities and technical colleges should adjust their intake in order to meet the economy's needs. For instance, if there's right now a severe shortage for plumbers, market forces would push up their value. To resolve this, I'm proposing to immediately let in foreign workers on 2 years contracts to plug the gaps, make this publicised information so that wages will stay high in anticipation for the expiry of contracts . Next ramp up intake into plumbing diplomas in technical colleges nationwide. These students would graduate and fill those roles when the foreign contracts end

​@@HKspurs10I think that's where the gap lies - Danish students don't want to do plumbing diplomas because they don't see a long term career in it, which leads back to your point about publicised information - this is where the gap is. There needs to be a national drive about areas of skill shortages and how they can lead to fulfilling careers too, while increasing seats in technical colleges. Advertising is necessary otherwise those increased seats would all go empty bringing us back to square one.

@@HKspurs10 "To resolve this, I'm proposing to immediately let in foreign workers on 2 years contracts to plug the gaps..." That was the solution in the 1960's and we still haven't solved the issues that arose from back then. Back then they call them 'guest workers' and they were supposed to leave but never did. The Danes won't stand for it once again. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. No party can sell that to the Danes and those who have tried have failed in every election since the 1970's. The Danes know that if foreign workers come to the country they stay in the country indefinitely. We have 60+ years of statistics showing just that and statistisks showing the risks associated with that kind of influx of workers. Danes would rather be called every word in the book than let it happen once again. Leniency on foreign policy have lost too many elections for too many politicians and they are acutely aware of this fact. "Next ramp up intake into plumbing diplomas in technical colleges nationwide." This is on the way, but again the lessons from the 1960's and 1970's makes it a hard wall to climb. It is hard to get young Danes to apply for such positions. Their parents and grandparents knows what 20 years of unemployment costs. Everybody who grew up in the 1980's and 1990's know about 'the lost generations'. Once again it is the fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me situation. "...make this publicised information so that wages will stay high in anticipation for the expiry of contracts..." Danes knows that they can't get rid of foreign workers that easily and what good is high wages if you can't get the job? Danes have experienced all of your propositions and their effects within living memory and they won't go for it once again. Any worthwhile political party who would make that their policy would loose the election. The 2015 election showed them that and it was painful for most center or left oriented parties in Denmark, especially the labor party. The liberals lost 15 places in parliament and labor only gained 3. A right wing party gained the 15 places the liberals lost and all due to their foreign policy. Labor got tough on immigration and won the 2019 election by a landslide and the liberals disintegrated. Information: Denmark have a multi party parliament and usually a minority government at the mercy of the parliament. The government can't stay in power with a majority vote against them in parliament. The government usually can't just 'run with it' for the next 4 years to the next election.

@@KurtFrederiksen I appreciate your long and detailed answer. Could this be a law and law enforcement problem, whereby the deportation laws are too lenient? In my home country of singapore, we do not have this problem. We have 3.7 million resident population with 2 million foreign workers, and we are very strict with illegals.

How much % of income is that? One hour of work?

@@santostv. something like that, after taxes of course.

@@anhidric1 So it’s more or less the same as in my country but we have lower salaries min wage is 820€ and average ~1440€

@@santostv. I live in Germany and here min wage is 12 € brutto per hour. In Denmark should be 14 or 15 € but with taxes around 50% so yeah, 7-8 netto per hour for a not very well paid job is correct

@@anhidric1 I’m from Portugal ,the numbers I said are also brutto, I thought denmark had progressive tax rates like in my country, we also have high taxes but since troika and then the pandemic our public sector was destroyed and having a aging population and a brain drain doesn’t help either.

If you don't want to work for bottom dollar and sleep on a park bench, so that your employer can buy a new yacht, then you must be lazy according to employers.

@@cordfortina9073 People in the past and especially in very poor third world countries have it worse. But they still work and do their best without big complaining like the generation nowadays like you.

@@MichaelSchilderner I wish you worked for me. I'd be on my 3rd Bentley by now.

​@@MichaelSchilderner No... overall, people in developed countries are constantly stressing and sometimes at very high levels compared to those from less developed. But generally both can't see it that way because the eyes are geared to stare at infrastructures first.

Of all the pro corporate propaganda you could have gone with, you decided to go with generational warfare​@@MichaelSchilderner

😂

😂😂😂😂😂

Are they skilled workers?

@@fabio.1skilled in the black market.

True. For a country that is so rich in natural resources & such a tiny population. It is ridiculous how much taxes they have to pay

​@@secrets.295What natural resources? We're you thinking about Norway? Denmark is a small area that has no natural resources

​@@mattilahde5220Greenland...?

@@NoctLightCloud Greenland, even tho it's in the Danish kingdom, is it's own nation, with their own flag and language... Denmark is only helping with currency, military, justice, and foreign affairs, beside that, nothing, and same goes, for the Faroe Islands... Danes cant just move to Greenland or the Faroe Islands, at will, but people from Greenland or the Faroe Islands, can move to Denmark any time they want... almost like USA with Puerto Rico...

@@NoctLightCloud What natural recources does Greenland have?

to live there? in denmark? yeah good luck with that lol

@@alexmartinez-og8gu Yes to live there. Why good luck? Sounds like you know you aren’t good enough 🤣

@@High1QWealth why would i want to live in a country where more then half my paycheck will be lost to services i dont even qualify to use or will be called a drain on the sysyem if I use them? I studied electrical engineering the last thing i wanna do is move to a country like that it was hard work why give it all away to be treated like second class?. i suspect other have come to the same conclusion. thats the reason for the video, to complain that there is no more cheap labor to exploit.

@@alexmartinez-og8gu Denmark has the highest wages after tax in the EU and higher than Norway. Clearly you finished your education at a non accredited institution and thus you seethe that Denmark would look at you like the parasite leech that you are! Danes are 3rd in the world in financial assets per adult and Denmark is #1 in social mobility. It is astonishing how unintelligent and unaware you are.

Even the mighty USA respects migrants, who cares about what a tiny insignificant country like Denmark thinks? 😂

People from some insignificant "developed countries" can be very arrogant. 😂 Without "migrants", the West will surely collapse. A day will come, you guys will beg in tears for migrants, but no one will migrate to your pathetic racist countries.

Be my guest, pay taxes until the rest of your life for the welfare of all these else women arrogant kids.

I live in Germany, I am beyond tired. All lies. There are no jobs, but still shortage of skills (?!)

@@CDGbyGraziaCosta You bet!

@@CDGbyGraziaCostaLeave muslim

I'm a SAP Consultant and I'm preparing to search for jobs in Denmark.

Taxes are not everything. There is quality of life, safety, health care etc. I can list many countries with low taxes and I'm sure wouldn't want to live in any of them.😊 Somalia....18% top income tax rate, must be a paradise.

@@geoffoakland Tax is everythng for those who is paying it at 55% rate. They can have QoL in places with lower taxes like Switzerland or Luxembourg.

@@geoffoakland You love high taxes because you benefit out of it. Benefit Scrounger.

Language is probably the biggest hurdle. I’m from Portugal and we before prioritized going to France,uk,Germany and still do but nowadays a lot of people are going to Switzerland and some to Benelux, in 2022 only 1.812 did go to Denmark meanwhile 10k went to Switzerland.

You will when you retire, buddy

A.I is gonna take over anyways and the employment rate is gonna go up around the world. I predict it gonna happen between 2-5 years.

.

Also high taxes and rampant discrimination in "free market" , which has nothing to do with generous benefits for mass migrants. High time we stop judging a country by welfare benefits, and by attractiveness of a country to expats.

@@val-schaeffer1117 again... u know NOTHING about our taxes... NOTHING...

Probably an over-reliance on imported labour and lack of investment in technology.

No one wants move to Denmark anyway 😂.
