Staff Shortages

I get tired of hearing business owners complain on television that they cannot get staff because the border is closed to migrants. These are people who vote for right-wing political parties because they supposedly believe in free markets.

In a free market, there is a simple way for businesses to get staff. Pay a better wage than other employers are paying.

But businesses are mostly unwilling to practice what they preach. Instead, they ask the government to bring in migrants who will work for the minimum wage.
