Jobless young people in Portugal told to look abroad

[RSone]

This is what a tell people my age that are unemployed with no prospects "the future is in northern European countries, it is all over here".

Please keep coming. With a bit of luck we'll have an Albanians/Greeks/Macedonians disturbances hotline. Someone has to keep Geert Wilders in business after all
I'm only half kidding. If a large scale movement of skilled or unskilled emigrants from South to North develops, a 'DEY TOOKD HUR JAWBS' noise similar to the ruckus about the Poles coming to steal our jobs will probably emerge.

Ran into quite a few portuguese ex-pats in Mozambique working. Heard the same from them, nothing at home.

This is kind of old news and it was said by a minister and not the PM. And Portugal as been pushing this kind of mentality on young people for a few years now. Even the policies aren't new.

I already knew of a few friends and one family that moved to Norway and I know a lot of guys working in communications and IT that have gone to work in Angola, Mozambique and East Timor. In the case of those in Angola and Mozambique they live there permanently, they only work there for Portuguese or other multinational companies. The biggest reason for them not living there is that living there is too expensive (housing, food, medical care, etc.) even with a very good pay and then because of the lack of security -- i.e. they would usually even have to bribe the local police just so that they wouldn't be pulled over and be taken to a police station and held for a few hours, quite annoying stuff.

BTW, we need good UI designer and a few iphone/android developers. Anybody wants to immigrate to Russia?

If you are serious maybe you could find some programmers by posting a job opening at ITJobs.pt (en).

Some years ago people tried to come to the former metropolitan countries for better life. Now they do the opposite. Strange times.

That's where I'd be headed if I was young, unemployed in Portugal.

Angola is a boomtown for the energy industry.

Brazil has the potential of the US in 1900...but with hotter girls who wear less clothes.

Why would you go to Angola when there is a huge Portuguese community in North America. Italians and Portugese have the construction and road work businesses on lockdown with salaries hovering around $25-80/hour (some guys barely speak any English after 40 years in the country).

All I can say is skilled and educated young workers are welcome in Alberta. Just when you start voting, please don't do so in a way that replicates the govt's and policies that screwed up your home countries.

The Eurowoosies think Alberta is the mouth of the devils lair, evil evil EVIL TAR!!!!!!
No, lets leave those jobs for young Canadians, with a sprinkle of young American workers who dare to work hard for a good living

Stay away Europe, or we'll smother you with the blood of baby tar seals

Nice! Imaging a second every government following the same logic...

edit: Imagine Obama telling young jobless Americans to go look for jobs in China

Consider Australia!. We always welcome immigrants and Western Australia have heaps of jobs in the mining sector.

considering that in angola you get free medical care,cheap gas and 11% annual economical growth,angola doesn't look bad.

And in 30 years its going to be: Germany, you have to pay us more money, for you stole all our young, well educated youth, although you knew before that we were too dumb to run our countries ...
