Desperate for work – Jobless Europeans flock to Switzerland


Swissinfo.ch:

An emergency shelter especially for European migrants is being reopened this weekend to accommodate people who would otherwise be forced to sleep rough. EU citizens from states in crisis have been flocking to Zurich in search of work.

The migrants cannot always use shelters run by the city council, as they are often full and Swiss nationals have priority. Even if they do get in, EU citizens are only allowed to stay for one night. So the Christian charity, the Zurich city mission, is taking up the slack with its own emergency shelter.

  1. yes, Switzerland is a small entity, but it lies in the heart (center)of Europe, surrounded by so many neighborly countries which makes it the easily accessible state for the job searching migrants from all sides.Swiss is said to be a beautiful and most attractive land, as such let all of us hope and wish to see the heart and soul of new immigrant also become identical part and parcel of the attractive land of beautiful Switzerland.
