My daughter is 17, and can't wait to work, the problem is no one will employ her because law is under 18's can't work certain hours, or don't have experience. When will these teenagers get a break, they can't even get a part time job in a supermarket. Then i read that the island is short staffed. Pff
Mark - to be fair at least this government has raised the minimum wage, three times I believe. Some sort of rent controls or more subsidised housing is the only answer.
And this is what should be a priority to this government. You can't have luxury only, you also have to think of the people who actually need to work. But that requires vision, something the majority of politicians lack.
It's a bit like closing the door after the horse has bolted. The hotels have just noticed how expensive it is to live in Mallorca? Seriously. They caused the staff issues in the first place.
