The tourist industry in the Balearics is struggling to recruit enough staff to meet demand.
The biggest stumbling block is the high rental costs which is putting seasonal workers from the mainland off coming to the Balearics, not to mention the high cost of general living and wages which do not match.

As discussed before on this forum. Insecure low paid jobs in regard to Balearics living costs are not only non viable, but seemingly undesirable to the available unemployed workforce in Spain. The option for people to up stumps live in cramped shared accommodation, miles from home, friends and families . Students may do it as a one off. Grown ups well probably not, well would you work and live in those conditions for a 1k euros a month. Many I think would not. London has a weighting allowance on many salaries in that city. Maybe Majorca needs to have a similar mechanism.
