The city of Prague doesn’t have enough Czechs in it to complete all the work that needs to be done by the companies and institutions in it. According to a new study compiled for the city, most of the less qualified work in the city is carried out by one of the 200,000 foreigners now loiving in the capital. The study states that 82 percent of foreigners registered in the city have a high school or college education. “A minimum of every fifth active employee workin on the Prague market is a foreigner, while the country average is “only” every tenth,” writes Prague’s Institute for Development. “Every third foreigner in the Czech Republic lives in Prague. Foreigners have become for at least the mid-term future an irreplacable source of labor.”
