High unemployment and difficulty to find low-skill workers aren't mutually exclusive. In fact it's exactly what is going on in France.

- mytailorisrich 5y agoIndeed, but I don't think "difficulty to find low-skill workers" necessarily equals actual shortages. What I'm suggesting is that high unemployment is a sign that there are people available locally. If there are difficulties filling jobs, especially unskilled jobs, this therefore points towards problems within the employment market and benefits (which are indeed well-known for having systemic problems in France for a very long time) not 'shortages' per se. In such situation the claim that immigration is 'needed' to fill these jobs does not hold water.
