In Montenegro, there are more foreign workers than local

The Montenegrin Employment Service conducted an independent study showing that foreign workers predominate over the local ones. But this is not a novelty - according to the representative of the employment service Ratko Bakrac, such a situation persists for the last few years. According to him, in 2013 foreigners were hired for work 33% more than local ones, last year this figure was 36%, and this year - 20%.

In each of the oppositions the situation is different, but the leader of the list is the one in Budva, where foreigners work four times more than local ones. In connection with the cheap labor of foreign workers, in the construction industry is an absolutely incredible situation: 83.7% of all employed - foreign workers. Basically, these are citizens of the neighboring countries: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Albania. In summer, at the height of the season, a similar situation occurs in the area of ​​restaurant and hotel business. Moreover, these are only official data, in fact, these figures can be boldly increased, as some cafe owners and hotel owners hire employees unofficially.

Despite all the efforts of the Employment Service (recall that the employer needs to receive a certificate that the local unemployed candidate does not claim this position), in Montenegro there are more than 30,000 only registered unemployed, which for a country with a population of 600,000 people is practically a disaster.
