This was a commonly expressed concern in Denmark following a large influx of non-EU migrant workers in the 1990s. And it’s true – but not necessarily in a negative sense. Refugees and immigrants from the Balkans and Somalia did indeed take the Danish low-salary jobs, but that wasn’t a bad thing for the local workers.
The consequence was that the locals replaced their cleaning jobs with more advanced job functions and higher salaries, a new study reveals.
so, the real discovery here is, the danish job market is racist
i mean, i'm all for open borders, but in an equal market, increasing the supply of labor will simply decrease each individual laborer's bargaining power.
or maybe this is simply a side-effect of the relative poverty common to fresh immigrants
