In his Facebook post, the expert on Roma affairs warns the Roma communities that although the government primarily wants to fill the gaps in the labor market with them, if they do not become partners, they will replace them with guest workers. 

"- István, that company in Gyöngyös could give you around 400 net, and even though it's physical work, it's not bad money. But since there are no more people willing/able to work in the area, we are now bringing 80 from Manila.

"About the Philippines?" And the gypsies in the area?

"We don't see them, we can't find them." They could come too, but we simply can't find them. By the way, 3,000 people applied for these 80 places. The employer can even be selective, he doesn't mind that the local gypsies don't flock to him for work."

For years, a recurring element in my trainings is the idea that Gypsies who really want to work and find a job still have 5-8 years left. And that's all, because if they don't find their place in the labor market by then, then the Filipinos ("who?"), the Bangladeshis ("where is that?") and the Mexicans ("are you kidding, more?") will come. "). Bonus: in addition to these, robots will also come (read: automation), and everywhere will certainly require fewer people than before. In fact, the robots are already here.

So, let's wake up very quickly, get ourselves together and look for and find work that we can use for ourselves, because if it doesn't work out, the gypsies will exclude themselves from the labor market.

At this time, the gypsy audience usually hums gently, in disbelief, and then everyone tells them that he has a job and that he is not afraid of the future. They are leaving tomorrow to pave the way somewhere in Transdanubia, and of course Pest, since they work for serious businessmen and entrepreneurs. And I can't even know how well things are for them, let alone educate them.

Obviously, things are not right.

Obviously, only a fraction of them work in a way that can serve the three interests (employer-employee-Hungarian state), while the Hungarian labor market is starving for labor.

The domestic workforce. The suitable workforce.

And if there won't be, or there isn't any, or the workforce simply hides, then the robots will really come, and the tens of thousands in the Philippines, who work every day as long as they are allowed, and are grateful for the opportunity, because the money they earn is life means to their family back home. And if that happens, then the gypsies will be able to continue to complain that their jobs will be taken away from them.

The Prime Minister was very clear on Thursday.

We need 500,000 working people in the next 3-5 years. And if it's up to him, the non-Hungarian worker can only come if everyone is already working here. And if the job is more difficult, you should be paid more. But the jobs need Hungarians. Without any exclusion. Because the Hungarian worker should put Hungarian bread on the Hungarian table.

And no matter how shocking it sounds, those Hungarians are now mostly gypsies.

Gypsies for whom this may be their last chance to turn their lives around.

And a little personal: if you are looking for a job, feel free to contact me. The best recruitment agencies in the country are waiting for me to recommend hundreds of reliable people who want to work for them, who really want to work. It would also be easier and cheaper for them than choosing people on the other side of the world every two weeks.
