One in two foreign workers wants to leave CR

Only a half of all foreigners working in the Czech Republic want to settle in the country permanently, according to a study conducted by the Czech Academy of Sciences and the Labour and Social Affairs Ministry. The study indicates that 48 percent of foreigners are convinced they will live in the Czech Republic in the course of the next five years. Eleven percent of them think they will most probably leave the country in due time and six percent are sure they will leave. The study has revealed that ten percent of university-educated foreign workers hold the poorest paid jobs in the Czech Republic. Complicated administration is the main problem why educated foreign workers find it hard to get jobs better suited to their skills and qualifications.
