| Description | The article looks at the issue of the employment of foreigners in the Czech Republic and draws on data gained from a questionnaire-based survey and semi-structured interviews with representatives of organisations that lawfully employ immigrants in the Czech Republic. We focus mainly on employers motivations to take on foreign labour. The text is divided into two parts. The first deals with the hiring of manual workers, the second with the filling of non-manual jobs. We arrive at the finding that for a large part of employers hiring foreigners is a response to the lack of Czech labour, but there are certain specifics that differentiate the two groups. |
