Key Business Association Points to Need for Foreign Guest Workers in Hungary
- 22 Jan 2025 9:16 AM

VOSZ pointed to a shortage of blue collar workers in the country and said guest workers were needed to complete investments that would create more local jobs. It added that companies unable to make the hires they needed could scale back their activity or take it to a more favourable environment for doing business.
VOSZ dismissed speculation that guest workers drag down Hungarian wages, noting that the labour code requires they must be paid the same as their Hungarian counterparts.
Because of the need for integration and training, guest workers cost employers as much as 30-50pc more than local labourers, it added.
