Sweden to ease rules for non-EU workers to migrate
2007-07-18
New rules that will make it easier for people to move to Sweden to work have been announced by the government. Swedish employers will be able to recruit from outside Europe without first gaining the approval of the authorities.
No worries, the "authorities" thoroughly approve.
Migration Minister Tobias Billström announced the new rules at a press conference in Stockholm on Tuesday. Under the changes, companies looking for workers will be able to employ people from anywhere in the world if they cannot find somebody suitable in Sweden or the EES (the EU plus Norway, Iceland and Switzerland).
After all, Europe only has 450 million people and 10% unemployment. Not like you can find someone.
"People's movement across national borders and their desire to improve their standard of living is something we want to make use of in Sweden," Billström said. "The proposal will give Swedish businesses opportunities to seek labour outside the EES," he added, saying that Sweden's aging population and growing need for labour made the changes necessary.

#4  Very few people anywhere WANT to work; they do so in order to survive. If your lifestyle is the same whether you work or don't work, why work? Socialism 'enables' non-productivity, the same way so many alcoholics and drug addicts are enabled by those who care for them.

The trick is finding someone who wants to work.

#1  Actually, East Europeans, Philipinos, and East Indian Hindus assimilate somewhat, at least after 1 generation. In contrast, 2nd generation Muslims lecture their parents against assimilation.
