Builders are hiring Portuguese bricklayers on £1,000 a week because not enough Britons can do the job. 建筑商出每周1000镑雇佣葡萄牙砖瓦工，因为英国实在是缺少可用的人手。 Skilled workers are in such short supply they can demand double the normal day rate of £100. 技术娴熟的工人太稀缺了，他们可以要求每天100镑的工资翻倍。 A month ago the Mail revealed that a similar labour shortage had forced the UK’s biggest sandwich manufacturer to recruit in Hungary because it could not fill its production line with local workers. 一个月前，《每日邮报》报道了英国最大的三明治工厂劳动力短缺而到匈牙利去招聘，因为在当地没有足够的工人开启产品线。 Portugal has become a hot spot for builders while energy firms are hiring Spanish engineers, according to James Hick of recruiters Manpower. 据人力资源招聘处的詹姆斯·西克所说，能源公司正招聘西班牙工程师，而葡萄牙成为了建筑商的招聘热点。 ‘There is a severe shortage of skilled tradespeople in Britain – bricklayers, plumbers, electricians, mechanical engineers, HGV drivers,’ he added. ‘Where they were paying £500 a week at the beginning of the year, the demand for those skills means they are now paying £1,000 a week. “英国现在技术娴熟的工人严重稀缺——砖瓦工，水管工，电工，机械工程师，载重物货车司机，”他补充道。“在年初的时候他们还是500镑一周，现在技术需求已经让他们的工资涨到1000镑一周。” |
