Diploma demands needlessly sideline tens of thousands of unemployed: trade union

Employers and the government’s rigid demands for diplomas are sidelining tens of thousands of unemployed people, according to trade union CNV. They don’t qualify for jobs because they don't have the required education level, but they often have more than enough experience to do the job, the trade union said. The situation is incredibly senseless, given the widespread staff shortages increasingly bringing the country to a standstill.
