There is an urgent need to create new jobs in Greenland’s mining and tourism industries. At the same time more foreign labour is needed, say the social partners.
Cutters and trawlers in Northern Greenland are catching fish and prawns in such numbers that the Greenlandic economy is close to overheating. The fisheries fairytale has triggered a veritable construction boom in the capital Nuuk, where cranes and new builds shoot into the sky everywhere, while house prices do the same. It has become difficult to live in the capital unless you earn a lot of money. Meanwhile, Greenland’s fish processing plants, construction sites and service companies struggle to find labour.
The situation has caused serious concern both in Greenland’s trade union movement and businesses, as well as in the offices of Erik Jensen, Greenland’s Minister of Mineral Resources and Labour.
“Greenland faces economic overheating, and we must prioritise wisely to prevent economic collapse. One of the things we must do is to find ways of importing more labour from non-European countries in order to solve the acute challenge of labour shortages in many sectors,” the minister says.
Many sectors are struggling to fill positions, including the construction, service and fisheries industries. Fish processing plants in Northern Greenland have started importing labour from as far away as China and the Philippines in order to clean, pack and freeze the large amounts of fish that are being landed.
“Many sectors are severely hit, so it is important that we think outside of the box in order to increase the import of foreign labour, especially from countries outside of Europe,” says Erik Jensen.

One trillion bid, now two, now two, will ya’ give me two? Two trillion bid, now three, now three, will ya’ give me three...
Go ahead, Greenland, call the White House.
Operators are standing (& sitting) by.
A Trump casino would create jobs.
I smell a deal.
“foreign labour, especially from countries outside of Europe”
How about 22 million people currently living in the US from outside of Europe in exchange for you becoming a territory?
Better yet, we deport the 22 million illegal aliens back to their home countries, and give Greenland all of the muslims that Hussein imported.

Well, hell, it sure wouldn’t take many Muslims being imported to a sparsely populated (about 60,000) nation such as Greenland to make it majority Muslim. Won’t that be fun for the Greenlanders.
Why would you want Muslims to invade a pristine place like Greenland? They should go back to their crappy Middle East countries.

We could make it our ‘Australia’ and ship all the deadbeats and donothings there to start a ‘new life’...
Nothing like a dose of Greenland for the Somali dissidents and maybe a certain Congresscritter(or 12+) could lead them ALL to the promised land..
It could catch on
Oh Greenland is a dreadful place
A land that’s never green
Where there’s ice and there’s snow
And the whale fishes blow
Away Boys!
And daylight’s seldom seen
Hillary will yell and scream in protest, but she normally yells and screams, so it wouldn't be anything new ....
/laughs
That would work too.
Dear Greenland we have a never ending supply of illegal Central Americans....
If they take it easier on the fish and prawns the prosperity will last longer. Overfishing hurt a lot of US fishing interests.
Buy it and make it Americans penal colony. Send the incarcerated family’s with them so they can visit when they want
