Hungary has a record number of foreign workers – now businesses want the government to ease the rules

The number of foreign workers in Hungary has reached an all-time high amid ongoing labor shortages affecting domestic businesses. The record influx occurred immediately prior to the implementation of stricter guest-worker regulations by the Hungarian government.

In response to these tightening measures and continued difficulties in finding sufficient staff, tourism industry organizations are now urging the government to ease the rules. These groups are calling for more flexible regulations to help businesses sustain their operations.
