In the sense that finding high-paying jobs with relatively low competition and long-term job security is a thing of the past? Gradually, year after year, competition has increased since the early 2000s, with more and more highly educated citizens from across the EU willing to do anything to get a job in Switzerland, even with a lower salary. I’m not criticizing, as I would do the same in their place, but this means we’ll never return to the situation before, where the job market was even less competitive than it is now. Do you agree with that? At the same time, since the Swiss franc is a symbol of stability during times of crisis, many foreigners buy CHF, which makes the CHF more expensive. This makes Swiss companies selling abroad less competitive, increasing the risk of relocation abroad and ultimately leading to job losses in Switzerland. And why pay someone in Switzerland for IT or finance when EU citizens can do the same thing at a lower cost? We see this with Swisscom, the postal service, SBB/CFF, even UBS, which recently announced it would be transferring 3,000 jobs abroad. Is it economically possible that Switzerland will eventually become a country of emigration again, like in the 19th century, but this time not because of poverty, but because it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find a job and earn a living wage in Switzerland? submitted by /u/PullyLutry
