Yes, but what’s the reason behind this?

If you have bad working conditions (overtime, weekends) and pay very low salary, who wants those jobs?

Greece is in EU, so the workers can just move to better paying places (Germany, France, Nordics).

Maybe they rather need to tackle their many times mentioned corruption problems, so the value created can be distributed also among the workers.

So that work becomes worthwhile again.

Exactly the same story over here in Croatia. It's a narrative from political elites blaming "lazy and demanding" workers.

The real truth is that working conditions, salaries and culture suck, and yes, workers are emigrating to other EU countries like never before in history of the country/region.

Politicians are crying their eyes out how people don't want to work so they're "forced" to let immigration being rampant. All the while being corrupted like there is no tomorrow (and probably there isn't).

This is happening everywhere and there are slight differences depending if those are jobs in tourism or not.

In tourism terrible cafe owners are complaining that waiters cost too much (they don't), hotel owners are paying minimum level wages to immigrants (why paying full salary to a local?), local public transit company is complaining that that cannot find drivers (so: immigration). All of this is complete BS. The standard of living is going down the drain, the difference between a tourist and local's buying power is larger and larger, politicians are doing everything in their powers to enrich themselves fuck all, same with judiciary, and public health services works only on paper. We're completely screwed.

And related, this reminds me about 20 years ago I was constantly hearing and reading from the media how domestic IT is sorely missing workers of any kind. Which was bs, they then wanted almost minimum wage experienced workers, just like they still want now.
