We have a similar problem in New Zealand with migrant workers, and its a big one. With the borders closed no one can get in, and our agriculture industry which relies solely on immigrant labour cant get the workers to pick fruit or sheer sheep or work the meat factories. They were warned about their nonsense in 1990 which is when they started importing workers.
The 'good times' are over. No workers. No tourists. And no New Zealanders willing to travel to the work places to work. Originally the agricultural workplaces had towns and communities which were built up around them. After everything got centralized and then outsourced the old communities didnt go to the new workplaces and since then New Zealanders just stopped applying for these jobs.

Same story pretty much the world over.
