The labor shortage has exceeded 1 million, and employers have conveyed their demand for 'imported workers' to the government.

Young people are struggling with unemployment, while employers are having difficulty finding workers. In recent years, especially as young people have turned to desk jobs, it has become increasingly difficult to find workers in labor-intensive professions. As employers knock on the government's door for a solution, the demand for 'imported workers' has come to the table. While the relevant ministries are evaluating this demand, it remains a question of whether the labor import that has already begun in some sectors will become widespread.

From industry to construction, and from agriculture to livestock, the need for more than 1 million personnel continues to grow day by day, despite the attractive salaries.

MONTHLY SALARIES OF 120,000 TL

For example, the salary of an excavator operator exceeds 120,000 TL, while the salaries of mold-iron-plaster masters reach 80,000 TL. It is no longer easy to find workers who will harvest crops in the fields or graze animals in the meadows.

DEMAND FOR 'FOREIGN WORKERS' FROM EMPLOYERS

Employers have started discussions with the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Labor to solve the personnel problem. While the solution to this issue is requested through labor import, both ministries have begun to evaluate these requests.

CREATED DEBATE

The demand for imported workers has sparked debate on the streets. Citizens interviewed by Show News commented, "With so many unemployed young people, the demand for imported workers is illogical. The sensible thing is to train our own youth." It remains a question of whether the labor import that has already begun in some sectors will become widespread.
