But if I work a 2400 Euro job for 1200 Euro, that is quite a difference. The employer pockets the difference, all I spend in my guest country is a bit on food and living.
The supply of jobs is finite imo - a warehouse needs 20 unskilled workers, they'll get 20 workers working for 1200 Euro instead of 20 working for twice the wage, so 20 local people in a town are left with nothing...
- elipsey 11y agoThe question was: "does 1 job taken by an immigrant equal 1 job lost by a local?" So the answer is a ratio, and it's probably not 1:1. Maybe it's 1:.5, but it's almost certainly not as bad as the 1:1.
